Energy conversion design and measurements, ESPLAB
Challenges: § Harvesters produce small power at low voltages, processing are power hungry: Power converter efficiency § It will fit in size of an electrode: Integrated circuit with limited passive sizes To realize a high efficient system here, 4 criteria have to keep in mind: 1- Ultra low power blocks in circuit level

High- to low-density EEG monitoring
Ø Goal: To OpFmize methods for monitoring of some pathological condiFons with low density EEG. Ø Method: To use funcFonal connecFvity based on source analysis of EEG. Ø Steps: To adjust these methods from high density to low density EEG. Step 1
Func/onal connec/vity based on source analysis of high-‐densty EEG: To use an usual analysis of hdEEG.
High Density EEG The differences of funcFonal connecFvity were observed in PNES paFents vs. healthy controls [1].

Step 2
Func/onal connec/vity based on cor/cal par/al coherence analysis of high-‐densty and low-‐ densty EEG: To use a method designed to work with high and low density EEG.
NanoTera BodyPoweredSense
Step 3
validate cor/cal par/al coherence method for ldEEG using simulated data: To simulate EEG data with different locaFons of acFve sources in the brain, and evaluate the method for esFmaFon of sources
Low Density EEG
3
This Method performs accurately on simulated data when the locaFon of sources are close to the electrodes.
4
This method does not perform accurately when the locaFon of sources are not close to the electrodes. 12/16
