Internship for the Characterisation of the Bursts in EEG and FMEG

Amiens, France         ·        Full time

A internship position is available at GRAMFC, in Amiens, France. It is  a laboratory focused on the analysis of cognitive development and  cerebral dysfunction in newborns. 

Description: The brain activity of premature infants and fetuses is  composed of periods of rest and bursts. These bursts can be measured  using EEG for premature infants and MEG for fetuses. It has already  been determined that the proportion of bursts changes with the  gestational age of the child. 

The objective of the internship is to compare the bursts of activity  between premature babies and fetuses by performing the following tasks:

• Bibliographic analysis of bursts of EEG activity in premature babies  and MEG in fetuses
• Feature extraction of bursts and inter-bursts
• Analysis and comparison of the characteristics obtained 

Profil: We are looking for a master student in end-of-study  internship. The student need to have skills in signal processing and  must be interested in the field of health. It is better if the student  speaks French. 

All applications should include a CV, a cover letter specifying  research interests and motivation. Applications should be sent to  Alban Gallard: alban.gallard at u-picardie.fr
