NCT ID NCT05209386
First seen Jun 26, 2026 · Last updated Jun 26, 2026
Summary
This study looked at how the brain's temporal lobe processes speech in 48 people with epilepsy who were already undergoing brain monitoring for their condition. Participants listened to sounds with varying pitch and timing while their brain activity was recorded. The goal was to understand how the brain flexibly adapts to changes like background noise or accents, which could improve future treatments for speech and hearing disorders.
