[Comp-neuro] University of Kent PhD studentship on EEG-based mental fatigue study

 

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.

 

How to apply
