Design engineer sEEG/CCEPS

Descrizione

Testo originale dell'annuncio (in inglese)

The successful candidate will characterize cortico-cortical evoked potentials (CCEPs) from electrophysiological recordings obtained during clinical electrical stimulations in patients with epilepsy. Working within a research team at the interface of cognitive/clinical neuroscience and signal processing, the role centers on an existing analysis pipeline: refining it, applying it to new patient data, developing it further, and making it sustainable and transferable so that future team members can use and build on it independently. The work breaks down into three areas: Preprocessing of new patient data (~50%) — importing and formatting electrophysiological recordings, signal quality control, identifying and removing artifacts, segmenting around stimulations, applying the existing preprocessing pipeline, and checking the outputs. Continuing the analyses (~40%) — running and improving the analyses that characterize CCEPs (extracting and quantifying evoked responses, connectivity measures, statistics), adapting and extending the scripts, producing figures and results, and contributing to their interpretation with the team. Documentation and knowledge transfer (~10%) — writing clear documentation of the pipeline (installation, code structure, step-by-step procedures, use cases), organizing and version-controlling the code, and establishing good practices for reproducibility and handover.
