Driving simulator + brain waves: a new way to test driving fitness in epilepsy?
NCT ID NCT07026591
First seen Jun 27, 2026 · Last updated Jun 27, 2026
Summary
This study explores whether a driving simulator combined with an EEG (brain wave monitor) can better assess driving ability in people with epilepsy. Researchers will measure attention, speed, and braking in 40 licensed drivers with epilepsy. The goal is to improve how doctors decide if someone with epilepsy is fit to drive.
