Ongoing/ Completed Projects
Source Localization: ECoG vs High Density EEG , Carnegie Mellon University, (June 2017-Present)
Using the solution to inverse problems and source localization algorithms, working to prove that High Density (>300 electrodes) EEG gives a better source localization in depths than ECoG (Invasive). Focus on Epileptic Seizures.
Ultra high Density EEG system , Carnegie Mellon University, (October 2016-May 2018)
working on to developing the system with Intan Amplifier chips to achieve more than 500 electrodes (Cost effective electrodes and small in size to fit more than 500 on head for EEG) for EEG acquisition which will help in better source localization and hence better diagnosis. Main focus is on location epileptic seizures.
