PhD Scholarships, Interfaces based on EEG, ECoG and DBS, the Graduate School of Computing in Medicine and Life Sciences, the University of Luebeck, Germany

The Graduate School of Computing in Medicine and Life Sciences (funded by Deutsche Forschungsgemeinschaft, DFG, and the German Government within the German university excellence program) at the University of Luebeck is now offering a PhD scholarship for the project “Interfaces based on EEG, ECoG and DBS “ in the research field of Human-Computer Interfacing.

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). The second step will deal with the improvement of the stationary system to a mobile platform, based on embedded signal processing. The goal is to develop optimal classifiers to interpret brain activity and utilise this analysis to provide a scarce command set for output devices.

PhD scholarship amounts to 1250 € per month. Students with a master’s degree (or its equivalent) in computer science, mathematics or engineering are invited to apply for admission. The application deadline is January 15, 2009. In certain cases, students must submit, as part of their application, the results of one of the acknowledged language tests to prove their English proficiency.
