About the job
| The aim of this project is to improve investigations about invasive and non-invasive brain stimulation techniques such as transcranial alternate current (TACs) or magnetic (TMS) stimulation, deep brain stimulation (DBS), and temporal interference stimulation (TIS), through: i) the identification of co-registration and normalization parameters of our existing Virtual Population (ViP) anatomical human brain models to reference brain coordinate systems (such as MNI); ii) the definition of coordinate transformation from these reference systems to the real space; iii) the co-registration of a brain atlas (e.g., Allan or HBP human brain atlas) into the ViP brain models, and iv) the identification of fiducial points for the identification of the 10-10 International electroencephalogram (EEG) Electrode System electrodes in our head models.Students who wish to apply should have at least three of the following skills:
The project will give the student the opportunity to gain hands-on experience with multiple techniques including image-based modelling and computational electromagnetics. The extent of the project will be individually adapted and finalized according to the interests and background of the student.
The workplace will be at the IT’IS Foundation in Zurich and the student will be supervised by the ViP team in collaboration with the neurostimulation team. The project will include:
