Connectionists: Internship for the characterisation of the bursts in EEG and fMEG

[Alban Gallard]

A internship position is available at GRAMFC, in Amiens, France. It is  
a laboratory focused on the analysis of cognitive development and  
cerebral dysfunction in newborns.

Description: The brain activity of premature infants and fetuses is  
composed of periods of rest and bursts. These bursts can be measured  
using EEG for premature infants and MEG for fetuses. It has already  
been determined that the proportion of bursts changes with the  
gestational age of the child.

The objective of the internship is to compare the bursts of activity  
between premature babies and fetuses by performing the following tasks:
- Bibliographic analysis of bursts of EEG activity in premature babies  
and MEG in fetuses
- Feature extraction of bursts and inter-bursts
- Analysis and comparison of the characteristics obtained

Profil: We are looking for a master student in end-of-study  
internship. The student need to have skills in signal processing and  
must be interested in the field of health. It is better if the student  
speaks French.

All applications should include a CV, a cover letter specifying  
research interests and motivation. Applications should be sent to
