Dual-site closed-loop TMS project involving data acquisition on healthy volunteers and EEG data analysis
The aim of this master project is to acquire data and to develop a standardized EEG processing pipeline that will be ran onto healthy participants and stroke patients datasets. After classical EEG pre-processing, the pipeline should include EEG feature extraction tools. Typical features that we want to explore are spatial features, spectral (frequential) features, temporal features (ERP, Time Domain Parameters), connectivity features (coherence, phase locking-values or Directed Transfer Function) or complexity features (entropy, predictive complexity…) and Source level analysis (Source level activation, Spectral granger causality). This will enable extracting EEG biomarkers associated with visual performance changes. Later on, these features could eventually be used for real-time classification algorithms enabling future closed-loop brain stimulation protocols.

Analyses of high-resolution EEG data including connectivity and cross-frequency coupling computations
The aim of this semester project is to help developing and testing new electrophysiological readouts of perceptual learning. Data have been already acquired on healthy young participants and on stroke patients.

ItsAllAboutMotion: Causal evidence of neuronal pathways subserving multisensory motion perception
The aim of the project is to disentangle the causal role of motion-sensitive areas in the multisensory perception of motion by disturbing motion processes in these brain regions using Transcranial Magnetic Stimulation TMS. Participants will perform a motion direction discrimination task. During the task TMS pulses will disrupt neural processing in specific (target and control) brain areas. The student will perform the TMS experiment and analyze the behavioral results.
