N1 - Funding Information: Funding for the study described in this paper was provided by Infinite Biomedical Technologies, Inc. (IBT). Nitish V. Thakor is entitled to a percentage of income received by Johns Hopkins University from commercial development of products described in this article. He owns IBT stock, which is subject to certain university restrictions, and is a paid consultant to IBT. These arrangements are being managed by the university in accordance with its conflict-of-interest policies. Funding Information: in electrical engineering from Indian Institute of Technology, Bombay, in 1974 and the Ph.D. degree in electrical and com-puter engineering from the University of Wisconsin, Madison, in 1981. He served on the faculty of electrical engineering and of computer science of Northwestern University, Illinois, between 1981 and 1983. Since then, he has been with the Johns Hopkins University, School of Medicine, where he is currently serving as a professor of biomedical engineering. He teaches and conducts research on cardiovascular and neurological instrumentation, biomedical signal processing, and micro-and nanotechnologies. He has authored more than 160 peer-reviewed publications on these subjects. He serves on the editorial boards of several journals and has been appointed as the incoming editor-in-chief of IEEE Transactions on Neural and Rehabilitation Engineering. He directs the laboratory for neuroengineering at the Johns Hopkins University with the aim of carrying out interdisciplinary and collaborative engineering research for basic and clinical neurosciences. He also directs a National Institutes of Health (NIH)-supported training grant in the field of neuro-engineering. He is actively interested in developing international scientific programs, collaborative exchanges, tutorials, and workshops on neuroengineering and medical microsystems. Thakor is a recipient of a Research Career Development Award from the National Institutes of Health and a Presidential Young Investigator Award from the National Science Foundation and is a fellow of the American Institute of Medical and Biological Engineering, a Fellow of the IEEE, and a founding fellow of the Biomedical Engineering Society. He is also a recipient of the Centennial Medal from the University of Wisconsin School of Engineering, Honorary Membership from Alpha Eta Mu Beta Biomedical Engineering student honor society, and a Distinguished Service Award from IIT Bombay, India. Funding Information: The authors would like to thank the neurology research group at the John Hopkins Medical Institutions for their kind help in the volunteer and clinical SEP research studies. They would also like to thank Prof. D. F. Hanley and Tracey Hartmann for helpful discussion. This work was supported by NIH/NINDS (Grant NS40600).
