Summary

The purpose of this research is to understand biomarkers of human memory through correlational analyses and to use focal electrical stimulation as a causal manipulation to understand how biomarkers of memory relate to other brain states and behavioral measures.

Conditions

  • Epilepsy Intractable

Interventions

DEVICE

Direct electrical stimulation

Stimulation will not exceed 0.75 mA and will be approved prior by study investigators. Each subject will have a safety threshold testing at the beginning of each session and if 'afterdischarges' occur the subject's stimulation threshold will be lowered.
