Karapatis, A. (author)Closed-loop neurostimulation systems have emerged as a prominent method for treating seizures. However, most of the proposed solutions do not consider the need for fast (real-time) seizure detection or their energy overheads, resulting in systems not suitable for wearable or implantable applications. This thesis describes the design and...master thesis 2015
