DESCRIPTION:Facing a growing number of patients with neurological disorders
 \, there are only limited therapeutic pharmacological measures which provi
 de only temporary and mild amelioration of the devastating symptoms of the
 se disorders. The use of electrical stimulation of the brain is a treatmen
 t option for patients with severe treatment-resistant disorders. Current d
 eep-brain stimulation (DBS) approaches are hindered by inadequate technolo
 gy that is low-precision and bulky\, power-inefficient\, and of limited di
 agnostic utility. The seminar will discuss a high-precision implantable ne
 urotechnology for closed-loop neuromodulation of functional networks of th
 e human brain. Key features of the technology are: 1) sensing from a high 
 number of channels\, 2) sensing concurrent with stimulation for true close
 d-loop operation\, and 3) real-time secure wireless data telemetry. The pr
 oposed neurotechnology could revolutionize brain therapies in efficacy\, s
 ize and cost of medical implants.\n\nDejan Marković is a Professor of Ele
