Towards Causal Mapping of Episodic Memory iEEG Networks Via Multi-method Brain Stimulation
Sponsor: University of Chicago
Summary
Human intracranial electroencephalography (EEG) can provide brain-activity correlates of memory with high spatial and temporal resolution. This project will test functional relevance of these neural signals for memory behavioral performance using novel noninvasive and invasive stimulation methods. Findings will advance understanding of brain mechanisms for memory, as is needed to accelerate progress in the treatment of memory disorders.

Conditions
Interventions
TMS electrical stimulation parameters during cognitive and memory demands
Study conditions will involve electrical stimulation delivered through non-invasive TMS. These different stimulation parameters will include the presence of stimulation (no stimulation versus stimulation) and the location of stimulation.
DES electrical stimulation parameters during cognitive and memory demands
Study conditions will involve direct electrical stimulation delivered through implanted iEEG electrodes. These different stimulation parameters will include the presence of stimulation (no stimulation versus stimulation) and the location of stimulation across the same electrode or a different electrode.
