Contexte et atouts du poste

The HYBRID team at Inria Rennes (https://team.inria.fr/hybrid/) is seeking a highly qualified young researcher with engineering experience and motivation in Brain-Computer Interface and real-time Electro-EncephaloGraphy (EEG) processing. The project aims at improving upper limb function after stroke by using EEG-Neurofeedback coupling with Virtual Reality and haptic interfaces.

Mission confiée

This position is opened by Inria, Rennes, France, within the frame of a collaborative project aiming at combining several neuroimagery methods (EEG, fMRI, fNIRS) in order to improve the state-of-the-art in brain rehabilitation. The used methodological paradigm is neurofeedback with close connections to Brain-Computer Interfaces (BCI), visualization and medical image and signal processing. In the scope of the project, novel computational/statistical models, signal processing, empirical protocols and visualizations will be proposed and studied, partly via their computational implementations and tested on ambitious clinical protocols.

Principales activités

The role of the post-doctoral fellow in this project will be:

  • To design all or part of an EEG-Neurofeedback platform and couple it with Virtual Reality interfaces and haptic devices
  • To participate to experimental and/or clinical trials to assess the effectiveness of the novel approaches in improving motor imagery or upper limb motor function in stroke patients.
  • To analyze the EEG data of participants.
  • To write scientific papers.
  • To represent the team in various meetings and conferences.

Compétences

Candidate should hold a PhD in Computer Science/Neurosciences. He/she should demonstrate relevant experience with EEG-NeuroFeedback or EEG/BCI, with programming (MATLAB, R, Python), and/or with the design of Virtual Reality tools or haptic devices.

Avantages

  • Subsidized meals
  • Partial reimbursement of public transport costs
  • Possibility of teleworking (90 days per year) and flexible organization of working hours
  • Partial payment of insurance costs

Rémunération

Monthly gross salary amounting to 2 746 euros
