Abstract
Evocar un recuerdo lejano sin revivir aquella despedida, beso, pelea o triunfo que marcó nuestro pasado resulta inevitable, el cerebro prioriza la retentiva en función de los sentimientos descartando todo aquello que suscita indiferencia, hecho que explica por qué apenas queda rastro de las largas noches de estudio previas a un examen. El exponencial crecimiento tecnológico reclama una evolución del oficio hacia un alto grado de especialización, donde una brillante capacidad memorística resulta un elemento diferenciador. La compañía Scignals propone el desarrollo de un dispositivo de modulación del sueño como potenciador de memoria, éste consiste en una interfaz cerebro-ordenador (BCI) que a partir de un minucioso estudio de señales captadas por electroencefalograma (EEG) ejecuta un estímulo auditivo prolongando la fase de sueño profundo en la que se fija la memoria. Para desarrollarlo surge la necesidad de realizar un análisis de su elemento principal, el conversor ADS1299. Configurar adecuadamente parámetros como el filtrado o el indicador de conexión del dispositivo resulta determinante para garantizar un correcto diagnóstico de la señal.
When recalling a distant memory, it is impossible not to relive that first kiss, final goodbye or worthy achievement that influenced our present. Our brains often retain memories through feelings, discarding everything else that invokes indifference. This fact explains why we do not often have detailed memories of those dull nights of revision before an exam. With the exponential growth in technology, the rise of jobs that require a high degree of specialisation has also increased. Having a remarkable memory ability could be a deciding factor in getting one of those specialized roles. Scignals proposes the development of a sleep modulating device to boost memory retention. The device is a Brain-Computer Interface (BCI) that analyses the signals captured by an electroencephalogram in order to generate and send an auditory stimulus which prolongs the deep sleep phase of the non REM cycle where memory consolidation occurs. In order to develop this device, its main element, the ADS1299 Convertor needs to be analysed in depth. The machine’s configuration settings, such as the signal filter or the connection indicator need to be configured adequately to ensure that the received signal is diagnosed reliably.
