Summer internship: Development of a BCI demonstrator for EEG headset At imec, Body Area Networks.
Scope of the project
The scope of the project is to design and develop a demonstrator for a EEG headset that is based on technology developed at Holst Centre. The demonstrator is envisioned to be in the form of a brain-controlled computer game.
Existing building blocks will be re-used as much as possible in this project.
Description of the project
The Holst Centre is a R&D Institute that performs research on autonomous wireless transducer solutions. In 2010, Holst Centre has developed a new EEG headset (check movie) consisting of proprietary low-power chips, enabling continuous EEG monitoring for several days without recharging.
The goal of this assignment is to develop a software program that is (partly) controlled by the user's brain waves, as captured by the EEG headset recently developed by Holst centre. This software shall demonstrate the ability of the headset to capture brain-waves with the required quality of a BCI. Key elements for demonstration purposes will be:
The resulting BCI demonstrator should be visionary, and show possible future applications of wireless EEG headsets.
Requirements
We are looking for a motivated student with the following background:
- Electrical engineering, Computer Science, Biomedical Engineering or Technical Medicine
- Signal processing
- Programming (language t.b.d.)
- BCI
The assignment should be carried out mainly at Holst Centre in Eindhoven, in close collaboration with the HMI group at UTwente.
The student should also have good team-work and English communication skills.
