EEG integration with a novel Integrated Transcranial Magnetic Stimulation (iTMS) device

快速变化的磁场的短暂目标脉冲可以诱导局部颅内电流，进而刺激特定的大脑皮层神经元池。重复经颅磁刺激（rTMS）是一种针对特定神经元池重复刺激的定向磁脉冲序列的应用。rTMS方案现在被医生广泛用于治疗耐药抑郁症。Neurogate medical正在开发一种最先进的集成经颅磁刺激系统（iTMS），以促进和改进当前的rTMS协议。该研究项目将研究信号处理和模式识别算法，这些算法可以包含在iTMS中，用于检测在rTMS协议期间获得的脑电图信号中存在的癫痫前活动。侦测这种癫痫发作前的活动将会

Brief targeted pulses of rapidly changing magnetic fields can induce localized intracranial currents that in turn excite specific pools of cerebral cortex neurons. Repetitive transcranial magnetic stimulation (rTMS) is the application of trains of targeted magnetic pulses aimed at repetitively exciting specific pools of neurons. rTMS protocols are now being widely prescribed by physicians for the treatment of medication-resistant depressive disorders. Neurogate medical is developing a state of the art integrated transcranial magnetic stimulation system (iTMS) to facilitate and improve current rTMS protocols. This research project will investigate signal processing and pattern recognition algorithms that can be included in the iTMS for the detection of pre-seizure activity present in EEG signals acquired during an rTMS protocol. Detection of such pre-seizure activity will
