Efficient Lossless EEG Compression Engine

We will develop an advanced lossless data compression engine for EEG, for use in telephone EEG transystems and digital EEG recording systems. While useful in rural and remote setting without ready acelectroencephalographers, and for home monitoring in selected patients with epilepsy and sleep distuavailable EEG telephone transmission systems restrict the number of channels of EEG transmitted andof the transmitted signal. Furthermore, digital EEG recording and monitoring system generate large ahence impose significant archival data storage requirements. Alacron's EEG compression engine will acompression to allow error-free transmission of at least 20 channels of EEG in real time over standaprovide approximately a ten fold reduction in data storage requirements for digital EEG recording syfeasibility of the compression technique will be proven. In Phase II, the technique will be implemenavailable custom designed components.
