Objectives

Narrative objectives1

In this study, we investigate the effects of mild psychological stressors, such as videos and audio clips, on individuals with intracranial electrodes. We measure intracranial brain waves in the hippocampus, amygdala, and frontal lobe, as well as physiological responses such as skin conductance. Additionally, we examine blood and saliva for hormonal levels and biochemical data. This research aims to explore how brain activity and biological responses related to stress memory change under these conditions. Concurrently, we also study changes in hormonal values and biochemical data in blood and saliva. By elucidating the neural responses, hormonal changes, and metabolic variations associated with stress responses in the brain, this study is expected to contribute to the diagnosis and treatment of neuropsychiatric disorders such as PTSD.

Basic objectives2

Others

Basic objectives -Others

We record intracranial brain waves in the hippocampus, frontal lobe, and amygdala at the time of stimulus exposure and the following day, identifying features such as sharp wave ripples (SWRs). Through this, we analyze functional connectivity within the brain and interpret brain information. This allows us to evaluate changes in brain waves resulting from the stimulus.

Assessment

Primary outcomes

We analyze the relationship between the duration, frequency, and amplitude of waveforms such as sharp wave ripples (SWRs), and the results of thought content surveys, as well as physiological responses like skin conductance, pulse rate, and respiration, using regression analysis and other statistical methods.

Interventions/Control_1

Participants are asked to pay attention to audio, still images, and videos, lasting approximately 1 to 5 minutes, played on a monitor or through VR playback devices. During this, we measure intracranial brain waves, skin conductance, and monitor pulse and respiration using wearable devices and sensors. The videos and images may depict mildly stressful scenarios, such as traffic accidents, and may include sudden loud noises. The initial viewing of stress-inducing content occurs on Day 0, followed by a similar viewing on Day 1, and again between Day 3 and Day 5. Measurements of brain waves, skin conductance, pulse, and respiration are taken during these viewings to observe the persistence of stress memory.
