Objectives

Narrative objectives1

This study will elucidate the mechanism of the effect of transcranial vagus nerve stimulation by investigating changes in neural activity induced by vagus nerve stimulation using a combination of noninvasive and invasive brain activity measurements and cognitive testing.

Basic objectives2

Others

Basic objectives -Others

1. investigation of changes in neural activity during vagus nerve stimulation, 2. investigation of the relationship between the results of neural activity measurements during taVNS stimulation and the degree of symptom improvement with invasive vagus nerve stimulation therapy, 3. investigation of changes in cognitive function associated with modulation of autonomic neural activity by vagus nerve stimulation.

Assessment

Primary outcomes

Differences in brain activity (BOLD signal intensity in cortical and subcortical regions) at rest and during cognitive tasks during taVNS stimulation will be compared between epileptic patients and healthy controls.

Key secondary outcomes

Brain activity (BOLD signal intensity and local potentials) at rest and during cognitive task loading were compared before and during taVNS stimulation using functional timing image resonance and local potential measurements.
The results of behavioral indices of cognitive tasks are compared before and during taVNS stimulation.
