| The main tract for transmitting noxious stimuli is the spinothalamic tract, receiving its input from different types of small fibers in the skin i.e., mechanical- or heat-sensitive fibers. In spinal cord injury as in other pathologies involving neuropathic pain and sensation deficits, it is crucial to assess spinothalamic tract integrity with objective methods. This depends on a well-characterized stimulation modality, activating small fibers, and implies the recording of brain activity in response to this stimulation (electroencephalography; EEG). Intra-epidermal electrical stimulation (IES) using a concentric triple electrode is known for its clinical potential due to small fiber activation and is a good candidate for the activation of the spinothalamic tract. However, to implement IES as a diagnostic tool in the clinical routine, feasibility, and test-retest reliability need to be assessed compared to other stimulation modalities. - Central Nervous System, Neurology and Neuromuscular Diseases, Peripheral Nervous System, Sensory Systems

| Epilepsy is a disorder characterized by recurrent seizures and for some patients surgery becomes a viable option for treatment. Intraoperative electrocorticography (ECoG) is used during epilepsy surgery to identify epileptiform patterns in real-time. We recently proposed a Brain-Computer Interface (BCI) that can detect epileptiform patterns during surgery: https://dx.doi.org/10.1038/s41467-024-47495-y. This project proposes the optimization of such a system, leveraging the BCI2000 software platform and the DYNAP-SE neuromorphic chip. - Biomedical Engineering, Information, Computing and Communication Sciences

| Scanning ion conductance microscopy (SICM) is the non-contact SPM technology to image live cells based on glass capillaries with a nanometric aperture. It applies a voltage and measures the ionic current flowing through the pipette above the sample in the buffer solution: the recorded current represents the feedback signal to measure the topography of the sample. In collaboration with Prof. Fantner at EPFL, this project aims to assemble a state of the art high-speed SICM to enable time-resolved live cell imaging. - Biomedical Engineering, Electrical and Electronic Engineering, Mechanical Engineering, Nanotechnology, Signal Processing
