Radboud University Nijmegen Faculty of Science, Mathematics and Computing Science
Nijmegen, (Gelderland), 40 hours per week
Job description
Research on Brain Computer Interfacing aims to use signals from the brain to control computers. Training of persons for the BCI task is complex and requires significant adaptation of the subject to the task. In the context of the Braingain project (www.nici.ru.nl/braingain/), a PhD student position is available for the development of a mutually adaptive BCI system, in which both subject and computer adapt simultaneously. The goal is to speed up the training process, to achieve a stronger BCI signal, and to be able to control more complex tasks. The PhD student will use machine-learning methods developed by Bert Kappen’s group and will validate the system in collaboration with Peter Desain’s group.
