Study Summary

This trial aims to better understand depression by studying brain activity in patients with epilepsy and treatment-resistant depression. The researchers are using advanced artificial intelligence techniques to analyze the data and develop new treatment strategies. Their goal

Who is the study for?

This trial is for adults with refractory epilepsy scheduled for seizure monitoring and patients already enrolled in a deep brain stimulation (DBS) trial for treatment-resistant depression. Participants must consent to the study.Check my eligibility

What is being tested?

The study tests how brain activity relates to mood states using intracranial recordings and stimulation, alongside advanced AI models. It aims to improve understanding of depression's neurobiology and refine neuromodulatory treatments.See study design

What are the potential side effects?

While specific side effects are not listed, brain stimulation procedures may include risks such as discomfort at the electrode site, headache, nausea, or other potential neurological effects.
