Closed-loop Neuromodulation, which means stimulating the brain using electrical pulses upon detection of a**neurological event, is a well-known method that has been proven to be effective in treatment/control of various**neurological disorders. The efficacy of such a treatment option heavily depends on continuous monitoring of**the brain along with real-time processing of the recorded data to yield an accurate detection. This requires a**highly-miniaturized (ideally implantable) device that integrates the three functions of monitoring, signal**processing, and stimulation, while operating fully wireless to allow for the patient to go about their normal life.**In addition to the electronics, such a device must also integrate recording/stimulation electrodes on the same**platform.**The proposed project will advance the development of implantable EEG acquisition systems by designing**miniaturized electronics for EEG data collection, processing, and wireless transmission. Combined with**specialized electrodes made from biocompatible materials, the overall solution will overcome the limitations of**current instrumentation and allow for widespread use of long-term EEG, resulting in better diagnosis and**management of neurological conditions and leading to improved patient outcomes.
