 Case studies 
 
info missingMapping the motor cortex in patients with a tumor in the proximity of the primary motor cortex is of crucial importance for the outcome of the surgery. For optimal results, the anatomical relation between the functional and pathological tissues needs to be investigated.

ANT has developed a system which integrates Visor and ASA-Lab for navigated TMS and EMG recording and online processing. This allows to record the evoked motor responses at multiple sites simultaneously, allowing therefore to generate functional maps highlighting the presumed cortical representations of the analyzed muscles. more

 Collaborative Projects 
 
info missingCognitive experiments in the last decades mostly took place in indoor lab environments. Subjects are placed in front of a computer and instructed to minimize body movements during the EEG measurement. In the next years, many of these experiments will move from the traditional lab to situations where the mobility of subjects is a major requirement.

Professor Mike d`Zmura from the University of California, Irvine (UCI) made the step from indoor lab measurements to outdoor experiments. ANT developed a solution for him and his collaborators that increased the mobility of the subjects extremely. more

info missingWaveGuard caps are used in the large EU funded multi-center project for the study of neonatal seizures and treatment. The NEMO consortium is formed by renowned researchers from all over Europe, in a collaboration of 14 well-recognized institutes and universities. The study aims to develop effective anti-epileptic drug treatment, and also provides resources for clinicians to obtain a better understanding of EEG recordings in neonatal care. A set of videos has been made available, covering a range of topics, e.g., how to set up EEG hardware, how to solve common or more complex EEG problems. Follow the link to see the videos. more
