Goal: A transformative understanding of memory processes during sleep. We combine human single neuron/local field potential recordings and electrical and auditory stimulation with the computational power of artificial intelligence to decode and modulate selective memories before, during, and after sleep.

Study population and setting:

• Epilepsy patients undergoing clinical evaluation with implanted depth electrodes voluntarily perform memory tasks during their hospital stay.
• We record data using microelectrodes and clinical macroelectrodes using Neuralynx, Blackrock, and Ripple systems

Data generated:

• Microelectrode single neuron and micro-LFP recordings, macroelectrode LFP recordings, audio data, and behavior.
• Data will be archived via the Data Archive for The BRAIN Initiative (DABI)
