Study Summary

The objective of this study is to test the feasibility and physiological effect of low-frequency (1 Hz) acoustic stimulation delivered during nocturnal NREM sleep in epilepsy patients. The long-term goal is to develop this protocol for daily, long-term use in a home setting, for nocturnal seizure and IED suppression

Primary Outcome

Assessment of how well participants learn to use stimulation smart-phone application and headphones, defined as the percentage of subjects with correctly maintained earphones during the first four hours of nocturnal sleep in the first days of use.
