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

快速变化磁场的短暂靶向脉冲可以诱导局部颅内电流，进而激发大脑皮层神经元的特定池。重复经颅磁刺激（rTMS）是应用目标磁脉冲序列，旨在重复刺激特定的神经元池。rTMS方案现在被医生广泛用于治疗耐药性抑郁症。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方案。本研究项目将研究可包含在iTMS中的信号处理和模式识别算法，用于检测rTMS协议期间采集的EEG信号中存在的癫痫发作前活动。检测此类扣押前活动将

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
