Master Thesis - Development of a Simulator for Neuro-monitoring Use Cases

As part of your master’s thesis, you will develop a functional prototype of a simulator for neurophysiological signals for use in intraoperative neuromonitoring (IONM). Your responsibilities will include, in particular:

• Conducting a comprehensive literature review on the neurophysiological fundamentals and signal characteristics (EMG, evoked potentials)
• Analyzing relevant influencing factors such as anesthesia, muscle relaxants, and technical interference
• Developing a technical concept for generating realistic bioelectrical signals
• Selecting and designing suitable hardware components (e.g., signal sources, microcontrollers, filters, amplifiers)
• Design and construction of a test system, including hardware and software
• Development of a configurable user interface for controlling signal parameters (amplitude, frequency, latency, interference variables)
• Simulation of clinically relevant influencing facto...
