Brief 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
Detailed Description:
1. To test the feasibility of wearing an earphone system delivering acoustic stimulation during a night of sleep in adult epilepsy patients monitored in an inpatient unit.
2. To determine the acute physiological effects of low-frequency acoustic stimulation on interictal epileptiform discharge (IED) frequency during NREM sleep in adult patients with epilepsy in an ambulatory setting.
3. To determine the feasibility of applying low-frequency acoustic stimulation in a long-term home setting in adult epilepsy patients with frequent nocturnal seizures.
