Undergraduate Project Ideas - 2025/26

  • 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

App Dev for clinical use of consumer EEG+

I have an industry partner that is building tools for clinical psychiatrists to make use of data collected by portable EEG, like the Muse Athena. They are looking for a developer to rebuild the prototype app, in a device-agnostic way, so its ready to use any cheap take-home EEG device, or at least a set. Long term, this is also a good way to be part of a start-up, if the project goes well.

People's Experiences of Neurotechnology*+

With one of our industry partners, we want to reach the stage where we can tell whether data from the neurotechnology that they provide is in good/healthy ranges. The aim of this project will be to understand the designs, and run experiments with people to examine what the data says about participants in respect to the tasks given them. The aim is to produce design recommendations for the industry partner to give clear feedback to its users.

Data Analysis of daily brain data*+

This project will analyse large amounts of fNIRS data collected by a consumer neurotech device, to correlate it with data from daily surveys and logged phone usage. The aim is to identify patterns from how people manage their lives, with their ability to focus on neurofeedback with neurotechnology. This project is doing initial analysis for a large funded collabroation with KIT in Germany, and will involve collaboration with researchers there.

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.

3D printing consumer neurotech*+

This project will focus on the design and printing of consumer neurotech that is comfortable to wear for as long as possible. Will work under the joint supervision of our collaborators in Germany, who will visit during the year.
