Offshore wind farms are seen as more efficient and consistent compared to onshore,
due to the higher wind speeds and a reduced environmental footprint, and Vertical
Axis Wind Turbines (VAWTs) take advantage on omnidirectional winds and their ease
of maintenance and installation, among various other things. Offshore vertical axis
wind turbines are an efficient and economical prospect for the source of renewable
energy, and our goal is to further refine this new emerging technology


Multifunctional Transcranial Electric Stimulation System

Department: Computer Engineering

Sponsor: Electro Brain

Industry: Health

Solution: Medical Device

Award:

Semester: Summer 2023

Download: PDF

This project involves building a neuromodulation device for stimulating brain regions outside of the scalp with a setup comprising four key components. The first component is the MFTESS board and its 19 daughter board cards, which function as a central hub to connect and control the other parts of the system, in addition to facilitating stimulation. The second component is the National Instruments module array, which links the MFTESS hardware to our LabView software, allowing us to regulate input and output voltages. The third component is the 32-channel amplifier from Synamps, which is responsible for collecting EEG data. Finally, the Synamps power supply powers all the components and eliminates electrical noise from the wall. Together, these parts enable the device to provide stimulation of up to 10 volts and 2mA to 5 electrodes.
