Objectives

Narrative objectives1

Intracranial electrode implantation is commonly used as a preoperative examination for epilepsy to determine the extent of surgical resection. In this study, we will investigate how brain activity and neurological symptoms, especially memory, are altered by visual or auditory neurofeedback (NF) targeting sharp wave ripples (SWR) from hippocampal gyrus.

Interventions/Control_1

Detect SWR in real-time from the subject's intracranial EEG. Auditory and visual feedback is presented to the subject based on the detected SWR. Subjects are trained to intentionally control the presented feedback. The experiment will be conducted under several conditions by changing the relationship between the detected SWR and the change in feedback. In this study, we will observe differences in the effects of neurofeedback under these different conditions.
Subjects will be instructed to control visual and auditory feedback by thinking about something without moving their bodies. Feedback will be provided in two conditions, A and B. In A, the feedback will be in the direction that increases in proportion to the duration of the SWR, and in B, the feedback will be in the opposite direction. After each training session, a memory task is performed.
Feedback A and B are performed on the same day whenever possible; the combined daily training time for A and B is approximately 1 hour. The two feedbacks should be continued if there is no fatigue or other adverse event. If fatigue or other adverse events prevent the two feedbacks from being conducted on the same day, they should be conducted on different days.
