This is a single-centre pilot study of a non-invasive auditory stimulation during sleep in participants with temporal lobe epilepsy.
The primary objectives will be to pilot the use of home-based auditory stimulation during sleep in 10-20 participants with temporal lobe epilepsy using wireless devices.

| Label | Type | Description | Intervention Names |
|---|---|---|---|
| Stim First | Active Comparator | Participants slept for one night while auditory sounds were played at specific points during slow wave sleep. At least one week later, an identical procedure occured with no acoustic sounds. |
|
| Sham First | Sham Comparator | Participants slept for one night while no acoustic sounds were played. At least one week later, an identical procedure occured while acoustic sounds were played at specific points during slow wave sleep. |

| Name | Type | Description | Arm Group Labels | Other Names |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| Closed loop auditory stimulus | Device | 50ms of low volume pink noise delivered during slow wave sleep |
|
| Measure | Description | Time Frame |
|---|---|---|
| Change in EEG waveform amplitude | Does the acoustic sound delivery alter EEG waveform amplitude of slow wave sleep | 5 seconds after stimulus |
| Change in Serial Reaction Time Task memory test | Does the delivery of acoustic sounds alter post-sleep preformance on the above task | Baseline and following day |
| Change in Paired Associates Learning memory test | Does the delivery of acoustic sounds alter post-sleep preformance on the above task | Baseline and following day |
