Feedback Stimulation to Stop Seizure Activity

Project Overview

In order to abort epileptic seizures, or prevent their occurrence, electric shocks must be administered to the neurons where the seizure is originating. An algorithm, capable of measuring an electroencephalogram from slices of rat hippocampus, predict or detect a seizure, and send an electric stimulus to the neurons, is needed. The generation of the electric stimulus has to be effected in response to clear changes in the EEG that may preclude the occurrence of a seizure. The algorithm needs to check its own performance by operating in a feedback loop. Steve, Shikha, Ibrahim, and Katy
