Master Thesis Development of a Simulator for Neuro-monitoring Use Cases

As part of your masters thesis you will develop a functional prototype of a simulator for neurophysiological signals for use in intraoperative neuromonitoring (IONM). Your responsibilities will include in particular:

• Conducting a comprehensive literature review on the neurophysiological fundamentals and signal characteristics (EMG evoked potentials)
• Analyzing relevant influencing factors such as anesthesia muscle relaxants and technical interference
• Developing a technical concept for generating realistic bioelectrical signals
• Selecting and designing suitable hardware components (e.g. signal sources microcontrollers filters amplifiers)
• Design and construction of a test system including hardware and software
• Development of a configurable user interface for controlling signal parameters (amplitude frequency latency interference variables)
• Simulation of clinically relevant influencing factors such as electrical interference signals or pharmacological effects
• Validation of the developed solution with existing neuromonitoring systems
• Documentation analysis and evaluation of the results
• Derivation of a concept for further development into a near-production product

Qualifications :

• Masters degree in electrical engineering medical engineering biomedical engineering physics or a related field
• Interest in biosignal processing electronics and physiological processes
• Basic knowledge of embedded systems and/or signal processing is a plus
• Ability to work in a structured and independent manner
• Analytical thinking skills and an interest in research and development

Additional Information :

• Working environment: A mutually-supportive international team
• Practical experience: Opportunity to build career experience in an exciting international company with a lasting impact on medical technology based in Waldkirch (top 100 innovator and employer of the future 2022)
• Working conditions: Flexible working hours
• Fitness: Internal company fitness program
• Personal development: Training and career opportunities offered by Brainlab SE
