Brain-Computer interface aimed at boosting attention in kids with epilepsy – but study never started
NCT ID NCT06940089
First seen Jun 24, 2026 · Last updated Jun 27, 2026 · Updated 1 time
Summary
This study planned to test whether a brain-computer interface (BCI) could help children with drug-resistant epilepsy improve their attention. Participants would have used brain electrodes already implanted for epilepsy surgery to train a decoder that gives real-time feedback when they focus. The trial was withdrawn before enrolling anyone, so no data were collected.
What this could mean
Our plain-language read of the trial. This is informational only — not medical advice or a prediction.
Active substance
brain-computer interface (BCI) decoder with real-time visual feedback
What this could lead to
If it worked, this could point toward a non-drug therapy to help children with epilepsy improve their attention.
What could go wrong
The study was withdrawn before any participants were enrolled, so no results are available. It is unclear if the approach would be safe or effective.
