Bu çalışma, epilepsi (epilepsy) tedavisinde kişiye özel yaklaşımları incelemekte ve Levetiracetam ile Lamotrigine adlı ilaçları değerlendirmektedir. Çalışmaya, sağlıklı gönüllüler ile epilepsi tanısı olan ya da ilk nöbeti epilepsi şüphesi taşıyan 16-55 yaş arası kişiler alınmaktadır. Faz uygulanmayan bir çalışma olarak yürütülmekte ve halen katılımcı almaktadır.
