Researchers want to understand how your brain creates and recalls memories as you go about your day. This study asks people with epilepsy who have implanted brain-monitoring devices to use a smartphone app to log their experiences while wearing sensors that track brain signals, heart rate, eye movement, location, and other body information. By collecting all this information together, scientists can see exactly what happens in your brain when you form new memories.
Most memory research happens in laboratories under controlled conditions, but real memories form in messy, complicated everyday life. This study bridges that gap by capturing how memory actually works when you're out in the world, which could help doctors better understand and treat memory problems in people with epilepsy and other conditions.

You would wear sensors and use a smartphone app to record your daily activities and experiences while researchers collect data from your implanted brain device. Depending on which part of the study you join, you might complete surveys about privacy concerns, or participate in memory and navigation tasks while wearing the recording equipment. The study collects data continuously during your normal activities, so you would continue your regular routine while the sensors work in the background.
