Wearable wireless pediatric EEG
Design of a portable, wireless EEG system for easy, fast and automatic testing of newborns via an ultra-low-power programmable digital platform and a wearable device adapted to newborns. This project has been financed by an ERC Proof of Concepts grant to Giorgio Vallortigara (NeuroSoNew) and entails a multi-center collaboration with Velu Kumaravel (PhD student at CIMeC and FBK), Elisabetta Farella (FBK, Trento), Simone Benatti (University of Modena and Reggio Emilia), Victor Kartsch and Luca Benini (University of Bologna). I coordinated all the development of the project. A prototype of the portable EEG system has been successfully tested on adults with flickering checkerboards at both low and high stimulation frequencies (Kartsch et al., 2022).
Portable EEG system embedding BioWolf and eight Dryode electrodes featuring active signal buffering.
Canonical Correlation Analysis detects a significant response even for delta-band stimulation frequencies (1 Hz) with 4 s only.
