There is now a CONTENT FREEZE for Mercury while we switch to a new platform. It began on Friday, March 10 at 6pm and will end on Wednesday, March 15 at noon. No new content can be created during this time, but all material in the system as of the beginning of the freeze will be migrated to the new platform, including users and groups. Functionally the new site is identical to the old one. webteam@gatech.edu

Study of soft materials, flexible electronics, and machine learning for fully portable and wireless brain-machine interfaces
Wireless, wearable electroencephalograms and dry non-invasive electrodes can be utilized to allow recording of brain activity on a mobile subject to allow for unrestricted movement. Additionally, multilayer microfabricated flexible circuits, combined with a soft materials platform, provide imperceptible wearable electronics for wireless, portable, long-term recording of brain signals. This proposal focuses on sharing the study outcomes in soft materials, flexible electronics, and machine learning for universal brain-machine interfaces that could offer remedies in communication and movement for these individuals. Integration of materials, mechanics, circuit, and electrode design results in an optimized brain-machine interface allowing for rehabilitation and overall improved quality of life.
