[Eeglablist] Internship opportunity: Data Analysis in Multimodal-VR Neuroscience Research (remote)

[Cedric Cannard]

Dear list,

I am excited to announce an internship opportunity. Here is the description below.

Project Description:

This is a unique opportunity for a student interested in pursuing a career in neuroscience. Join a groundbreaking project investigating subconscious predictive processes in unpredictable settings using pioneering technology. We will be collecting data shortly using the Galea headset (by OpenBCI Inc.) merging state-of-art Varjo Aero Virtual Reality (VR) technology and simultaneous 8-channel EEG, PPG, EDA, EMG, and eye tracking. This project aims to capture correlates of subconscious anticipation in a simple passive driving simulation and predicts outcomes using advanced machine learning and statistical analyses.

Role and Responsibilities:

- Run and monitor (check for errors, improve code when necessary, etc) pre-developed data analysis pipelines using MATLAB and EEGLAB (command line).

- Inspect and verify the quality of processed data files.

- Work remotely with potential opportunities to visit the lab in Novato, California, for local candidates interested, to support and learn about data collection.

- Gain hands-on experience in signal processing and biostatistics.

- Possibility to co-author manuscript for peer-review publication

Basic requirement:

- Experience with MATLAB and EEGLAB (command line).

- Current student or recent graduate in Neuroscience, Biomedical Engineering, Psychology, or a related field.

- Good communication skills for remote collaboration.

- Strong attention to detail and ability to follow protocols.

Desired but not required:

- Basic understanding of EEG, PPG, and EDA data and basic physiology.

- Interest in predictive processes, VR technology, and multimodal neuroscience research.

- Basic knowledge of machine learning principles.

- Local to the San Francisco Bay Area.

Start Date: August (flexible)

Location: Remote (data analysis); Novato, California (data collection support)

This is a unique opportunity to contribute to innovative research at the intersection of neuroscience and technology.

Warm regards,

Cedric Cannard, PhD
