Frequently Asked Questions
Are there presently any opportunities to join the experiment?
"The evidence on clinicaltrials.gov illustrates that this research study is currently in the recruitment phase. The trial was originally listed on November 1st 2021 with its most recent update appearing on November 29th of the same year."
Does this experiment cater to individuals aged 45 or more?
"The study's regulations stipulate that the minimum age for participation is 18, while the maximum age limit stands at 75."
What key goals are being sought out in this medical investigation?
"The primary metric of this five-year long clinical trial is the Free Recall Memory Discriminability Index (proportion recalled). Secondary objectives include recording Location of Single Pulse Evoked Potential responses to Amygdala Stimulation, Local Field Potentials indicative of a Good Memory State, and Latency of SPEP Responses."
What is the current participant recruitment for this trial?
"Affirmative. According to clinicaltrials.gov, this medical trial is actively enrolling applicants since its inception on November 1st 2021 and continues to be updated as late as November 29th 2021. They are hoping for 90 participants from a single site."
Is there any possibility of me joining this experiment?
"This investigation requires 90 participants aged 18-75 with aura to take part. Furthermore, these individuals must also possess certain prerequisites in order for their participation: implantation of intracranial depth electrodes into the amygdala, hippocampus, and parahippocampal/perirhinal cortices plus scheduled long-term intra-cranial video monitoring for seizure onset localization."
