Study Summary
This trial is studying a way to improve electrical brain stimulation therapy for neuropsychiatric disorders by making it personalized.
Who is the study for?
This trial is for adults over 18 with epilepsy or brain tumors, who have electrodes already implanted in their brains for clinical monitoring. Participants should be healthy aside from their neurological condition, able to follow instructions, and not part of a vulnerable population like pregnant women or prisoners.Check my eligibility
What is being tested?
The study tests personalized electrical brain stimulation using models based on each patient's neural activity. It aims to improve treatment efficacy by adapting the therapy to individual responses and symptoms tracked via existing iEEG electrodes.See study design
What are the potential side effects?
While specific side effects are not listed, electrical brain stimulation may cause discomfort at the electrode site, headache, nausea, or changes in mood or cognition depending on the area of the brain being stimulated.
