“Acquisition and analysis for Neural signal to understand the functional network of the brain.”
As a part of EIT project, the goal of this analysis is to understand the functionality of the brain while the subject is performing certain tasks like sleeping, moving, traumatized, exposed to radiations, etc. Devices like nano-implantable electrode (invasive), Plexon, Offline sorter, TBSI wireless system are used for data acquisitions and custom written code in MATLAB is used to filter and analyze the acquired data.
