Epilepsy intractable

This study looks at how the brain learns, remembers, and makes decisions. Researchers will record brain activity from 200 epilepsy patients who already have electrodes implanted for medical monitoring. Participants perform simple computer tasks while their brain signals are measu…

Researchers want to understand how the brain handles faces, which people use constantly to make social decisions. The study enrolls adults with intractable epilepsy who already have electrodes implanted in their brains for clinical monitoring. While those electrodes are in place,…

This study looks at how the brain learns from past experiences and uses that knowledge in new situations. Researchers will monitor brain activity in 114 adults with hard-to-treat epilepsy who are already undergoing brain monitoring. The goal is to understand the process of abstra…

This study aims to understand how the human brain makes goal-directed decisions by recording activity from individual neurons. Researchers will monitor brain cell firing in people with epilepsy who are already undergoing invasive monitoring. Participants perform simple button-pre…

This observational study compares eating behaviors—such as picky eating, food neophobia, and texture preferences—between children with drug-resistant epilepsy who follow a ketogenic diet and healthy children. Researchers also measure body composition and resting metabolic rate in…

This study looks at whether a simple scoring system, called the 5-SENSE score, can accurately predict where seizures begin in the brain. Researchers will test this in 400 people with hard-to-treat epilepsy who are already scheduled for an invasive brain test called SEEG. If the s…
