Project description

This project tackles fundamental research on the technology needed for an automatic epileptic seizure detection system. It uses flexible and stretchable substrates with various sensors, it processes EEG signals and other measurements data and it uses the reservoir computing neural network technique. This leads to a fast detection system, tailored to individual patients and fit for a home detection system.
