Optimization of Human Cortical Stimulation

NCT01198964 · Status: UNKNOWN · Type: OBSERVATIONAL · Enrollment: 8

No results posted yet for this study

Summary

We will observe epileptic patients who already have electrodes implanted on the brain and are receiving high-level brain stimulation for clinical purposes while testing their motor and language function. We propose to do a limited, low-level brain stimulation to show that the signatures of local activity in the target area change as an effect of brain stimulation. The goal of this study is to understand the feasibility of a novel recurrent brain-computer interface that could eventually promote targeted functional recovery in subjects who have had a brain injury.

Conditions

Interventions

PROCEDURE

Low-level cortical stimulation

A couple of electrodes will be stimulated (at a lower level than the stimulation used for standard care) over a period of 4-12 hours based on the signals defined by the motor or language task.
