Multi-channel scalable EEG acquisition system on a chip with integrated patient specific seizure classification and recording processor

A method for monitoring an EEG comprising the steps of:

• connecting an EEG electrode to an EEG monitor comprising an integrated circuit chip,
• wherein the integrated circuit chip comprises:
• an Analog Front End cell, the Analog Front End cell comprising:
• an amplifier cell in communication with an EEG electrode;
• an ASPU cell in communication with the amplifier cell;
• and
• a Classification Processor comprising:
• a DBE Channel Controller cell;
• a Feature Extraction Engine Processor cell, the Feature Extraction Engine Processor cell in communication with the DBE Channel Controller cell and the Analog Front End cell;
• and
• a Classification Engine cell in communication with the Feature Extraction Engine Processor cell and the DBE Channel Controller cell;
• amplifying, via the integrated circuit chip, a signal from the EEG electrode to generate an amplified EEG signal;
• adapting, via the integrated circuit chip, the gain of the amplified EEG signal using an ASPU;
• digitizing, via the integrated circuit chip, the adapted gain signal using an analog to digital converter;
• extracting, via the integrated circuit chip, a feature vector from the digitized adapted gain signal using a feature extraction engine;
• and
• designating, via the integrated circuit chip, the feature vector as seizure or non-seizure using a classification engine.
