Summary

This study aims to create a large database linking brain wave recordings (EEG) and medical records from up to 20,000 epilepsy patients at the University of New Mexico. By combining these two types of information, researchers hope to find patterns that predict seizures and improve treatment. The database will be de-identified to protect patient privacy and will be used for future research.

What this could mean

Our plain-language read of the trial. This is informational only — not medical advice or a prediction.

What this could lead to: If successful, this database could help researchers develop algorithms to predict seizures and create new brain-stimulation treatments that stop seizures before they start.
What could go wrong: This is an early-stage database creation, not a treatment trial. It may not lead to immediate patient benefits, and the data may have limitations that affect future research.
