Abstract
The purpose of this project is to create a device which can perform closed-loop brain recording and stimulation. Part of this is to create a device to amplify and digitize high frequency EEG signals up to 1 KHz. The other portion is to create a device to apply controlled and arbitrary current stimulation. This project has the potential to enhance human memory formation, an essential ability for people in everyday life. Along the way, I will create a device which has the potential to change how researchers record brain activity, enabling new insights into higher-frequency brain function and disorders.
