[Eeglablist] Post-doctoral position on multi-modal control interface for a robotic exoskeleton

[Sylvain Chevallier]

A 1 year post-doctoral position is available at LISV, a french lab at 30 
min from Paris, France. The LISV team « Assistance et Handicap » has 
developed a recognized expertise in assistance robotics for 
rehabilitation and offers a 12 months post-doctoral fellowship for a 
young researcher, as an extension of the ESTA project (funded by the 
French research agency ANR).

The project aims at designing a multi-modal control interface for a 
robotic orthosis for the rehabilitation of the upper limb. The team 
already has a functional robotic platform which have been thoroughly 
tested with several control interfaces. The goal is to extend the 
control modalities with an EEG-based brain-computer interface, on top of 
other communication methods.

The theoretical part concerns on the one hand the selection of relevant 
and robust features for the control and on the other hand a multi-modal 
fusion of the different chosen features. A combined approach should be 
developed based on the identification of the user's control capacity 
through an analysis of the different signal modality (arm movement, EEG, …).

Applicants must have obtained their PhD after September 2006 in one of 
the related field of the study : signal processing, brain-computer 
interfaces or machine learning (in particular with SVM, HMM or fuzzy 
approaches such as Fuzzy C-means).

The fellowship will be funded by the French government, month salary is 
circa 2100 euros and it can start in September 2011 or after.
