Connectionists: Several Ph.D. positions at SFU, Vancouver (clinical EEG recordings and medical texts)

[Vasily Vakorin]

Several Ph.D. positions at SFU, Vancouver (clinical EEG recordings and
medical texts).

Several fully-funded Ph.D. positions are available at Simon Fraser
University (Vancouver, Canada), at the Department of Biomedical Physiology
and Kinesiology and the School of Engineering Science. Ph.D. candidates
will focus on research in neurophysiology, such as electroencephalography
(EEG) and magnetoencephalography (MEG), and machine learning to study
clinical populations.

One of the large-scale projects is based on an extensive dataset of routine
clinical EEG recorded and evaluated in the process of a diagnostic workup
at four local public hospitals. The data include EEG scans and
corresponding EEG reports (written impressions of the visual analysis of
the EEG, which was done by neurologists). One Ph.D. project will use EEG
recordings to predict clinically-relevant labels. The other project will
apply natural language processing (NLP) tools to develop models for
extracting labels from EEG reports.

For more information, please contact Dr. Sam Doesburg or Dr. Vasily

cover letter and CV to vvakorin at sfu.ca . Please name the attached files
according to the format: Lastname_Firstname_cv.pdf and
