[Eeglablist] PhD Position, MoBI for rehabilitation, Politecnico di Milano - Deadline 13th September

[Fiorenzo Artoni]

Dear all,



Applications are now open for a PhD Position at the Politecnico di Milano, with the title  "Innovative Biomarkers for the optimization of post-stroke rehabilitation treatments", using Mobile Brain Body Imaging (MoBI) paradigm. Deadline for application: 13th of September



Requirements: Ideal candidates should have strong python and/or Matlab programming skills, a Master's Diploma in computer science, physics, mathematics, computational-neuroscience or engineering with a strong interest in developing novel tools for brain imaging in the natural environment. Any previous experience in the field is a plus.

Detailed description of the topic:



Gait disorders significantly affect everyday mobility and quality of life in patients suffering from stroke. Enriched treatments such as Functional Electrical Stimulation (FES) and Exoskeletons can be used to

enhance rehabilitation therapies, however it is still unclear how best to use them to maximize the outcome.

In fact, the brain dynamics underlying sensorimotor control of gait are currently poorly documented because of technological challenges related to neuroimaging performed during patients' movement.

The aim of the proposed research is to discover and analyze relevant physiological biomarkers, collected during the rehabilitation treatment of post-stroke patients, which could allow to track rehabilitation progress, predict outcomes and ultimately optimize the treatment.



The research will be carried out mainly at the Villa Beretta Rehabilitation Center (Costa Masnaga, Lecco). The candidate will develop novel techniques to analyze features extracted from ground reaction force, kinematics, electromyographic (EMG) and electroencephalographic (EEG) data, that will be collected during gait in chronic stroke patients. Relevant features will be used to assess the cognitive the patients' cognitive flexibility and used to promote plastic reorganization in a closed loop


Best,
Fiorenzo
