Epilepsy and Memory

jaydaleighh

In 2019 I was diagnosed with Temporal Lobe Epilepsy. Since then its been my goal to study human neuroscience, specifically epilepsy. I'm a third year university student and for my dissertation I decided to study Epilepsy and Memory, something that effects me personally. I would really appreciate it if other individuals with epilepsy could be apart of my research and complete 2 short questionnaires and a short memory test, both of which will take no longer than 15 minuets and can be found using the link below 😀

Interesting study but the numbers on the short term memory test flashed up to quickly & may cause problems for those with photosensitive epilepsy. It gave me a headache. Also, there was not enough space to list all my medication. It asks for primary medication but I don't regard any of them as primary. They are as important as each other. It

would be interesting to see the final dissertation if possible?

That is a really good observation I will add a photosensitivity warning before the test, thank you for this

primary means the one with the highest dosage but I do agree they are all as important as each other. I am collecting data up until the end of February, then analysis and write up so publication of my dissertation will be in May.

Best of luck with this @Jaydenlogan15. Also, thank you for taking into account feedback from our wonderful community members about the potential to be a trigger for some people with epilepsy.

Really pleased to hear it didn't affect your seizure risk @woodbine. Thank you for raising this point though, for anyone it might affect

My mother suffers from epilepsy all her life, she is now 75, her short term memory is poor but can sing out poetry, hymns from her childhood, i'm guessing it's a mix of the medication she is taking and old age!

Thanks for sharing this with us @bwlch1. I can hear how her long-term memory is better than her short-term memory
