Offer Description

Surgical treatment of epilepsy requires the identification of eloquent brain regions in patient with electrodes implanted intracranially. This functional brain mapping procedure is often performed using so-called localizers protocols, which permit to identify brain networks involved in different cognitive function (e.g., language, memory or visual processing).

To facilitate this procedure, a proof-of-concept project linking clinic and research is currently in development at the Institute de Neurosciences des Systemes (https://ins-amu.fr/). The project aims at implementing existing and new experimental protocols on tablet, for a more ecological and flexible approach. The job will consist in improving the existing setup, in the implementation of new experimental protocols and in recording, managing, and analyzing data.
