ClinConnect Summary

This clinical trial, called "Capturing Autobiographical Memory Formation in Real World Spaces Using Multimodal Recordings," is studying how our brains form and recall personal memories, especially in people with epilepsy who have special devices implanted to help control their seizures. Researchers want to find out how different types of data—like what people see, hear, and do in their daily lives—can help us better understand how memories work in the brain. This study uses a smartphone app to collect information from participants about their experiences in real-life situations, alongside data from wearable sensors that track various physical and emotional responses.

To join the study, participants need to be at least 18 years old and should have either good cognitive abilities or only slight memory issues. Those with more significant memory problems are not eligible. If you participate, you can expect to use the CAPTURE app on your smartphone to record your daily experiences, which will then be combined with data from your wearable sensors. The ultimate goal of this research is to develop new treatments to improve memory function for individuals facing memory challenges.
