Presentation Transcript

  1. Brown Gold Yellow Blue URI Based Research on Noninvasive Electrical Stimulation and Epilepsy Riley Davis Biomedical Engineering University of Rhode Island

  2. Introduction • What is epilepsy? • Who gets epilepsy? • What is a seizure and how does it occur? • How is epilepsy treated?

  3. Research • Noninvasive Trans Focal Electrical Stimulation (TFES) • Tripolar Concentric Ring Electrodes (TCRE) • Neurotransmitters • Recordings/data

  4. Purpose • Brain Computer Interface • Help people with severe motor disabilities • Epilepsy Research • Noninvasive • Early detection • Control seizure • Higher success rate

  5. Process All animal protocol was approved by the University of Rhode Island IACUC. • TCRE • Observe/record • Detect • Transmit • Observe/record • Video

  6. Advantages • TCRE • Significantly reduce signals from undesired sources. • Isolate the signals from sources more effectively • Function externally/noninvasively • Removes complications involved with surgery and side effects

  7. New Data
