Open OpportunitiesLucid dreaming allows individuals to be aware of and control their dreams, offering benefits for therapy, creativity, and skill enhancement. Techniques such as pre-sleep meditation improve lucid dream frequency and clarity. Sensory stimuli, synchronized with sleep stages, can further induce lucidity. This project aims to develop a closed-loop system to enhance lucid dreaming training and experience. The system will use recorded EEG data to detect sleep stages and combine pre-sleep meditation with sensory stimuli applied during the respective sleep stages. The lab's existing rocking bed “Somnomat” will be integrated to apply vestibular stimuli and additional sensory stimuli based on auditory or visual cues, triggered by physiological changes, or depending on a specific sleep stage. - Engineering and Technology

| Optimal inspection and maintenance planning of road infrastructure is a challenging process, since decision-making needs to be made on the basis of uncertain observations of various origin. These uncertainties are linked to some level of uncertainty relating to varying environmental and loading conditions, modelling errors, inefficiency of the measuring system and so on. Although this issue spans over several disciplines, including social sciences, it is also quite commonly met within an engineering framework. The goal of this project is to build an optimal inspection/maintenance framework for different bridge materials and typologies, maximizing their service life and minimizing environmental im-pact, and address the challenges of infrastructure management. Thus, the student will work on some of the following objectives depending on their interest:
• Review established and state-of-the-art non-destructive-testing and rehabilitation methods and derive indications on which methods work better for which different bridge typologies/materials
• Utilize existing finite element models (in SoFiSTiK) of various bridge types to simulate various short-and long-term effects.
• Explore decision processes frameworks for modeling decision making in situations with partly random or decision-dependent outcomes.
Suggested Courses: Depending on interest: Method of Finite Elements (or similar) and/or Non Destructive Evaluation & Rehabilitation of Existing Structures
Suggested Competencies: Basic knowledge on MATLAB or Python
Possible to select as: obligatorishce Projektarbeit, praktische Projektarbeit, forschungsbezogene Projektarbeit
Limitation of offerings: 2 students (group work is possible) - Structural Engineering

| Latent diffusion models (LDMs) [1] have recently emerged as a powerful tool for high-quality image generation, offering superior scalability and training efficiency compared to pixel-space diffusion models. While the network architectures of LDMs have received significant attention, other design aspects of these models (for example the forward noise schedule and the autoencoder) remain underexplored. This project aims to enhance the characteristics of LDMs, e.g., quality and efficiency, by investigating various design elements of latent diffusion models.

| This project will be based on the preliminary results obtained from a previous master project in causal graphical modeling of autonomous dysreflexia (AD). The focus of the extension would be two-fold. One is improving the temporal graphical reconstruction for understanding the mechanism of AD. The other one is building a forecasting framework for the early detection and prevention of AD using the graph structure we constructed before. Please refer to the attached document for more details about the task description. Based on the candidate's qualifications, funding/allowance can be provided. - Artificial Intelligence and Signal and Image Processing, Autonomic Nervous System
