PhD Position in Interfaces based on EEG, ECoG and DBS, University of Lübeck, Germany
May 26, 2009PhD Position in Interfaces based on EEG, ECoG and DBS, University of Lübeck, Germany
Description : The Graduate School for Computing in Medicine and Life Sciences (http://www.gradschool.uni-luebeck.de/) at the University of Lübeck invites applications for a 3-year PhD scholarship. Application deadline: June 30, 2009. Project description: The goal of this project is to develop stationary medical grade signal processing hard- and software to record from 256 wideband channels while ignoring synchronous magnetic disturbances (TMS). This system is meant to record intra-operatively from surface scalp electrodes (EEG), cortical surface electrodes (ECoG) and intra-cortical depth electrodes (DBS) during scheduled surgical procedures (tumour resection and epileptic focus resection) The second step will deal with the improvement of the stationary system to a mobile platform, based on embedded signal processing. The system will then be set up for real-time use in the analysis of brain signals. The goal is to develop optimal classifiers to interpret brain activity and utilise this analysis to provide a scarce command set for output devices. Methods to be used will include advanced types of Blind-Source Separation and Spike detection based on wavelet analysis. Requirements: Candidates are expected to have a master’s degree (or its equivalent) in computer science, mathematics or engineering. Prior experiences in scientific publishing (during the university study or industry employment) are of advantage. Please prepare all the necessary documents and submit your application online: http://www.gradschool.uni-luebeck.de/?q=node/20.
