Prediction of Anxiety and Memory State

Description

The purpose of this study is to look at how signals in the brain, body, and behavior relate to anxiety and memory function. This project seeks to develop the CAMERA (Context-Aware Multimodal Ecological Research and Assessment) platform, a state-of-the-art open multimodal hardware/software system for measuring human brain-behavior relationships. The R61 portion of the project is designed to develop the CAMERA platform, which will use multimodal, passive sensor data to predict anxiety-memory state in patients undergoing inpatient monitoring with intracranial electrodes for clinical epilepsy, as well as to build CAMERA's passive data framework and active data framework.

Participation Criteria

Researchers look for people who fit a certain description, called eligibility criteria. Some examples of these criteria are a person's general health condition or prior treatments.

For general information about clinical research, read Learn About Studies.

Eligibility Criteria

  • * Patients must have known or suspected Temporal Lobe Epilepsy.
  • * Native or proficient in speaking English or Spanish.
  • * Stereoelectroencephalography (sEEG) cases: The implant plan must include hippocampal head, body, and tail electrodes either unilaterally or bilaterally.
  • * 7th grade reading level (minimum level considered literate for adults)
  • * Hearing impaired (i.e., not corrected with a hearing aid)
  • * Unable to read the newspaper at arm's length with corrective lenses.
  • * Objective intellectual impairment (estimated IQ \< 70)
  • * Any history of Electroconvulsive Therapy or psychosis (except postictal psychosis for patients)
  • * Psychotic disorder (lifetime)
  • * Current Anxiety disorder, Major Depressive Disorder, or Bipolar Disorder
  • * Neurodegenerative diseases, presence of widespread brain lesions, language problems (other than naming difficulty)
  • * Medical conditions that could potentially affect cognitive performance (e.g., human immunodeficiency virus (HIV) infection, cancer with metastatic potential).
