Refractory epilepsy patients implanted with a vagus nerve stimulator perform a memory test at baseline in three conditions: invasive vagus nerve stimulation (VNS), transcutaneous vagus nerve stimulation (taVNS) and sham stimulation. After 6 weeks of VNS treatment, the memory test is repeated in two condition: invasive vagus nerve stimulation (VNS) and sham stimulation. The endpoint of this experiment is assessing the effect of VNS and taVNS on memory performance.
