Abstract
Abstracts are not currently available in GtR for all funded research. This is normally because the abstract was not required at the time of proposal submission, but may be because it included sensitive information such as personal details.
Technical Summary
The Confidence in Concept (CIC) scheme is a key part of MRC’s translational research strategy and provides annual awards to institutions to flexibly support a portfolio of early stage translational research projects. CIC is designed to accelerate the transition from discovery research to viable translational projects by supporting preliminary studies to establish proof-of-concept so that the approach will then become competitive for more substantial translational funding

| Title | MODULATING WAKEFULNESSS AND AROUSAL |
| Description | Arousal of a patient is enhanced and wakefulness modulated by neurostimulation. Bioelectrical activity of the nervous system of the patient is monitored and characteristics of the monitored bioelectrical activity associated with a state of reduced arousal and/or wakefulness are detected. In response to such characteristics, stimulation signals selected to arouse the patient are generated and supplied to stimulation transducers to stimulate a neural network of a patient associated with arousal. |
