PhD Scholarship available Brain Signal Analysis using EEG
Research Theme : This project aims to perform analysis on EEG
(Electroencephalography) data to investigate mental fatigue. More generally, we aim to
find an indicator for the identification of brain states (i.e. fatigue, non-fatigue) using
novel methods. It might have a wide range of applications (i.e. military, sports and
medical applications).
Key words : EEG, time-frequency analysis, phase synchrony, machine
learning, pattern recognition, general linear model
Location : University of Kent at Medway, UK (40-50 mins from London
by train)
Supervisor : Dr. Caroline Ling Li
Co-supervisors : Prof. Samuele Marcora, Prof. Howard Bowman
Funding
Three-year PhD scholarship is available to UK, EU and overseas students and will cover
home tuition fees plus a maintenance grant equivalent to the full UK Research Council
rate.
Criteria
Applicant must have a good first degree or good Master's level degree. Ideally at
Master level with relevant research experience. Strong programming or/and math skill is
preferred. Previous research experience leading to publications would be an advantage.
