Arial;mso-bidi-font-family:Calibri;mso-ansi-language:EN-GB">The goal of this
project is the development of novel algorithms for the processing, analysis,
and spatial mapping of Near-Infrared Spectroscopy (NIRS, optical imaging)
functional imaging data of brain activity in very young children. While over
the last decade NIRS has become a viable research tool in many domains, because
of its non-restricting nature it has gained special appeal for the functional
brain mapping of children. The proposed work aims at addressing challenges that
are particular to this subject group and which at present still hamper its
wider use, such as the prevalence of fractured/segmented data, the high
likelihood of motion artifacts, and the specific measuring geometry/anatomy.
The newly developed tools are expected to be developed and applied within the
framework of NIRx’ existing open access NIRS analysis software in a modular and
expandable fashion. Besides features specific to small child studies we also
anticipate the development of more general neuroimaging software functionality
such as data integration with other modalities (e.g., EEG, behavioral), data
import/export capabilities, and a strong focus on usability. The work is
expected to adhere to best practices for code development and documentation.
The programming is expected to be predominantly implemented in MATLAB™. <o:p></o:p></span></p><p class="MsoBodyText" style="margin-bottom:0cm;margin-bottom:.0001pt;text-align:

ESR is to develop experimental designs and data analysis tools for
electrophysiological (EEG) measures, allowing the early identification of
language delay at the single participant level. This is a particularly
challenging task with young infants and children who typically provide noisy
EEG data due to movement and other artifacts. The ESR will be expected to
design and run experimental paradigms that can achieve high quality data in
individual participants, and enable co-recording with eye-tracking and NIRS.
The ESR will also be required to adapt existing analysis tools (e.g. EEGLab)
and to develop new ones, e.g. using high-density EEG recordings (source
localization, time-frequency analysis) to provide the most suitable methods for
group as well as individual level data analysis, leading to the identification
of early neural predictors of language delay. Interfacing the EEG analysis
tools with NIRS, eye-tracking and other methods will also be necessary. The
programming is expected to be predominantly implemented in MATLAB™. <o:p></o:p></span></p><p class="MsoBodyText" style="margin-bottom:0cm;margin-bottom:.0001pt;text-align:
