| Description | We proposed a new method to process the data recorded from neurons in the brain in a low-power chip that can transmit results wirelessly to external devices. This invention led to a patent application. |
| Exploitation Route | The method we developed for processing and transmitting the neural data wirelessly can be used by other neurophysiology labs doing experiments with animals and humans. |
| Sectors | Digital/Communication/Information Technologies (including Software) Healthcare Other |
| Description | Our findings led to research articles and an international patent. We developed a system to transmit wirelessly the activity of neurons to external devices. An International patent application was submitted. European patent 15702568.5 - 1206 / 3100138 was granted in September 2019. |

| Title | SYSTEM FOR A BRAIN-COMPUTER INTERFACE |
| Description | The invention provides a two-step approach to providing a BCI system. In a first step the invention provides a low-power implantable platform for amplifying and filtering the extracellular recording, performing analogue to digital conversion (ADC) and detecting action potentials in real-time, which is connected to a remote device capable of performing the processor-intensive tasks of feature extraction and spike classification, thus generating a plurality of predetermined templates for each neuron to be used in a second processing step. In the second step the low-power implantable platform amplifies and filters the extracellular recording, performs ADC and detects action potentials, which can be matched on-chip to the predetermined templates generated by the external receiver in the first step. This two-step approach exploits the advantages of both offline and online processing, providing an effective and safe method for performing multiple recordings of single-neuron activity, for research or monitoring applications or for control of a remote device. |
