Brain measurement with functional near-infrared spectroscopy (fNIRS)
In this internship, you perform brain measurements with a novel functional near-infrared spectroscopy device.
Keywords: Brain, BCI, fNIRS, internship
Brain-computer interfaces (BCIs) allow the detection of brain activity and the control of robotic devices. At the RELab, we have developed a novel BCI system based on the functional near-infrared spectroscopy (fNIRS) technology. We are investigating the oxygenation changes in the brain during the execution of hand grasping movements.

In this project, you will be responsible for the acquisition of brain measurements. You will first understand the used device from a technical side and obtain the neurological background of the investigated task. You will then perform measurements with healthy subjects, while investigating methods to improve the measurements.

Your tasks will be:
- Initial literature research to get a basic neurological background of the study
- Understand the functionality of the used device and improve the comfort of the device
- Perform BCI measurements with healthy subjects
- Investigate fNIRS measurements
