graduate research students whose research interests lie at the intersection of
neural engineering, cognitive neuroscience, and control systems. Our current
lab’s projects include developing Hybrid BCI systems, neural signal analysis of
patients with different types of neurological impairments including patients
with disorders of consciousness (DOC), epilepsy, Schizophrenia, and Parkinson’s
disease (PD) with different brain imaging modalities of invasive and
non-invasive recordings. The successful candidates must have master’s
degree in electrical engineering or biomedical engineering, background in
neural engineering, signal processing, machine learning algorithms, and
extensive programming experience with Matlab. Background in BCI and control
systems, cognitive neuroscience, and other programming languages such as C++
are desired but not mandatory.</font></span></span></span></span></span></span></span></span></span></span></p>
