and is commonly used as part of the diagnosis and treatment planning for numerous neurological conditions_x000D_
including epilepsy, sleep disorders, brain injury, and others. With current EEG instrumentation, the patient_x000D_
must either be tethered to the recording hardware by wired electrodes, or wear a bulky headset to store and/or_x000D_
transmit the EEG data while powering the system. In either case, it is not possible to obtain high quality EEG_x000D_
data over long periods of time while the patient goes about their normal routine and daily activities. Long-term_x000D_
EEG recording is further complicated by the fact that electrodes applied to the scalp only maintain comfortable,_x000D_
low-impedance contact for limited periods of time. As a result, physicians commonly make clinical decisions_x000D_
based on limited and incomplete EEG information or, in clinical workflows for many neurological conditions,_x000D_
without any EEG information at all._x000D_
The proposed project will advance the development of implantable and wearable EEG acquisition systems by_x000D_
designing miniaturized electronics for EEG data collection, storage, and transmission. Combined with_x000D_
specialized electrodes made from highly biocompatible and durable organic electronic materials, the overall_x000D_
solution will overcome the limitations of current instrumentation and allow for widespread use of long-term_x000D_
EEG, resulting in better diagnosis and management of neurological conditions and leading to improved patient_x000D_
