We are looking for a strong PhD candidate for the EU funded project “Smart rehabilitation of the upper limbs with an intelligent soft-exoskeleton”. One of the main goals of the project is to develop an AI assistance system which could help patients with movement disorders. Neuronal and behavioral data of patients and healthy subjects will be recorded and used to train the exoskeleton. A virtual reality environment is used for rapid prototyping of the system.

 

 

Requirements: Master degree in neuroscience, engineering, computer science or a related field. Good programming skills (e.g. Matlab, Unity 3D). Basic knowledge in machine learning (specifically deep learning). Experience with EEG and electrophysiology are not mandatory but useful. A strong interest in the field and excellent working ethics.

 

 

Start: 1st of October 2019

Duration: 3 years

 

 

 

We are looking for a strong PhD candidate for the EU funded project “Virtual reality based Arm and hand Function Evaluation and support System”. To asses the degree of various movement disorders we will develop a virtual reality based test environment for patients. Machine learning techniques will be used for data analysis and test calibration.
