| Title |
SensoMetrix; a standardized framework for integrating data from biosensors into brain and behavior studies |
| Supervisor |
N. Khalili-Mahani and H. Benali |
| Description |
The students will design and implement a software platform to help scientists use data
from various biosensors to conduct brain/behavior research. Students will work with realdata
and will be able to evaluate, improve or re-build on our prototype, SensoMetrix,
used for data normalization and management.
In particular, we want to create a database of 'simulated' electro/physiological signals;
develop signal processing tools that allow us to characterize those signals; make sure our
tools are working well (by running them on simulated signals); and then test them in real
data. This would be a reverse-engineering kind of an exercise: we reverse engineer the
body's physiological control system. If students advance quickly in this first task, the
project may be extended and they students may design a control system to emulate a
"brain" circuit that modulates a particular physiological signal.
The framework will ideally accommodate:
• A data conversion script to turn arbitrary multi-channel physiological data into predefined
formats. (Already existing)
• A user interface to help the data analysis and visualization workflow (partially exists)
• A simulated dataset as a test-case to validate accuracy of pre-defined parametrization
metrics for evaluation of SNR and entropy in the data (to be generated).
|
| Requirement |
The team must include students who have successfully completed courses in digital
signal processing or control systems.
Proficiency in object-oriented Matlab programming and Javascript is important.Familiarity with Python, R and Intrnet of Things is desirable |
| Tools |
Students may visit PERFORM Centre and collect data from our existing equipment; but
they are welcome to curate other data sources. Students must have access to personal
computers and Matlab. Students must be willing to use Github for project management
and code-sharing. |
