How controlled sounds and sensory stimulation affect the brain in an acoustic chamber

Is this trial a fit for you?

A plain-English reading of the study's rules. Only the study team can confirm whether you qualify.

What this trial studies

This observational study measures behavioral and neurophysiological responses to controlled sensory stimulation delivered inside an acoustic chamber. Adults with epilepsy and healthy volunteers over 18 (excluding people with deafness or certain neurological conditions) will be exposed to stimuli like music while researchers record brain activity and behavioral responses. The protocol focuses on detailed phenotypic characterization rather than any therapeutic intervention, using in-person sessions to map individual response patterns. Collected data will be used to link specific stimulus features to changes in brain rhythms and symptom-related behaviors.
