Undergraduate Project Ideas - 2026/27
- My projects are all brain-related. Please look at the Brain Data Group
- You may wish to talk to Horia Maior for BCI. Or Jeremie Clos for Machine learning of brain data.
- Ideal project students are ones who are both good at development and designing nice-looking easy to use products.
- + - Good Programmers. * - Good Researchers.
- Before Emailing Me: Have a good idea in mind of what you might actually do. Do not just say "I'm interested in project X" without having a think first. I will ask you what your ideas are.
Priority Projects
Brain Scanner for Rowing 🚣*+
I have an industry partner that is building a brain scanner that fits into sports caps. They will have various prototypes available during the year. Our aim is to craete alternative app designs that support an athlete at different stages of training and racing. This project would benefit from someone familiar with rowing, good at machine learning, and maybe also good at app development. The project may involve data collection with rowers on a machine, or on the water.
Brain Scanner for Other Sports*+
I would consider students who are interested in the Rowing project, but are more involved with a different sport. There are caveats: the sport would ideally need moments of low movement or predictable movement, across the lifecycle of training and competing. It's also beneficial if headwear is normal. Talk to me about it. Again, the project would involve a mixture of data collection in real world conditions, and analysis, potentially with app development on the side for capturing data at different times.
Glasses with added Neurotechnology*+
We have a new industry partner that makes glasses (spectacles not drinking vessels) that have EEG built into them. The product is initially aimed at detecting brain seizures, but there is scope to do more with them. More detail pending.
Headphones with added Neurotech*+
We now have a pair of Neurable Headphones, along with the research kit that allows us to grab live data from the device. The aim of this project would be to study people with these headphones doing work tasks while listening to music. There is some flexibility of scope on this project, as long as it develops our tools for using the headphones for research in the process.
Brain Data Analysis - Dynamic Systems Theory*+
This project will work with an industry partner to do advanced analysis of brain data from a consumer neurotech product. It will take a novel Dynamic Systems Theory approach, working closely with an industry partner. You should contact Jeremie Clos for this one.
Brain Data in VR*+
We are prepping for a large grant proposal, studying how we experience spaces in VR, using consumer neurotech to evaluate brain responses in VR. This project would likely involve working with Boriana and Horia instead of me.
