Reading And Wirelessly Sending Eeg Signals Using Arduinos And Xbee Radios To Control A Robot, Andrew Paul Simms
Reading And Wirelessly Sending Eeg Signals Using Arduinos And Xbee Radios To Control A Robot, Andrew Paul Simms
Electrical Engineering Undergraduate Honors Theses
The objective of this project is to develop an EEG device that can read brainwaves from an individual, analyze the data, and use the result to send a wireless signal using Arduinos and XBee Radios to a Boe-bot to perform an action. One of the goals of this project is to read EEG data with a higher sampling frequency than a previously manufactured EEG device. The second part of the project used the device developed to differentiate an individual’s thinking between right and left and then send a simple signal to a robot using an XBee radio to perform an …
Testing The Efficiency Of Vertically Aligned Gold Nanowires On A Titanium Needle Implantable Neural Electrodes In The Rattus Norvegicus Hippocampus, Lauren Kegley
Electrical Engineering Undergraduate Honors Theses
Miniaturized multi-electrode arrays are MEMS devices that have found use as neural prosthetics (Neuro-MEMS). As implants they can interface with neurons as sensors or actuators and help compensate for loss of sensory input, motor control, or cognitive function. The micro-electrodes, studied here, were developed in-house. They have a vertically aligned gold nanowire array and are mounted on a sturdy fine gauge titanium needle. Hence, the bill of materials and design characteristics encourage its use as neural probe. For this study, a probe was tested in vivo for signal acquisition in the hippocampus of a Rattus Norvegicus (Sprague Dawley Rat). Using …
