This study is looking at how direct electrical stimulation in the brain affects thinking abilities in people with epilepsy. It uses a method called functional mapping, which involves recording brain activity (intracranial EEG), observing behaviors, and applying electrical stimulation directly to the brain. The goal is to create maps of the brain that show where different functions are located and how different brain areas communicate in adults with partial epilepsy. You may be able to join if you are 18 or older, are currently having intracranial EEG monitoring for epilepsy surgery planning, and are willing to follow all study procedures. The study will measure the effect of brain stimulation on cognitive effort right after the stimulation sessions. The current recruitment status is unclear, and the study plans to enroll 30 participants.

Study design

This is a single-group study with 30 participants, looking at how brain stimulation affects cognitive effort. It is an interventional study, meaning participants will receive a specific intervention.

What's involved

You would undergo intracranial EEG data acquisition, observation and behavioral testing, and intracranial electrical stimulation. The study measures effects immediately after stimulation sessions.

Compensation

Not stated in the trial record.

Follow-up

The primary endpoint is measured immediately after stimulation sessions, so long-term follow-up is not specified.
