Description
Summary:Nowadays the advances in technology makes possible the development of portable medical devices that exit the usual context inside the hospital to reach a daily life ambient; for example, today is possible to buy a commercial electroencephalography device to check anyone?s brain signals at home or even play games to move a ball in a screen just by focusing in moving it. Furthermore, new devices able to record sleep signals and stimulate during sleep have been recently appearing, but they have several limitations,such that the size and comfort of the system is not appropriate for sleep or that the stimulation is not controlled by a reliable closed loop system. For this reason, in this work we present the design and evaluation of a complete closed-loop system for in-phase stimulation during sleep. In particular, we developed a new prototype, called Ear-EG, which consists on an own EEG acquisition system capable of recording signals from electrodes...
