Overview
Dr. Viventi’s research uses flexible electronics to create new technology for interfacing with the brain at high resolution over large areas. These new tools can help diagnose and treat neurological disorders such as epilepsy, and help improve the performance of brain machine interfaces.

Mapping intraoperative interictal epileptiform discharges using high-resolution, thin-film cortical arrays.
Journal Article Epilepsia · February 26, 2026 OBJECTIVE: Interictal epileptiform discharges (IEDs) are transients observed on the electroencephalogram (EEG) of patients with epilepsy. IEDs have traditionally been recorded from scalp or intracranial EEG macrocontacts, which coarsely sample neural activ ...
