Internship or Master Thesis Opportunity in Pupil-Based Biofeedback data analysis
Are you passionate about neuroinformatics, data science, or biosignal processing and looking for an exciting internship/master thesis opportunity at ETH Zurich and SFISM? Join our interdisciplinary team in an SNF BRIDGE project that explores how pupil-based biofeedback training can help athletes to regulate their state of arousal.
Arousal regulation is critical for cognitive performance and well-being. Our research focuses on using the pupil as a real-time physiological marker of central arousal, linked to the locus coeruleus-noradrenaline (LC-NA) system. We have developed an innovative pupil-based biofeedback system integrated into commercially available VR headsets with eye-tracking capabilities.
Our goal is to investigate how prolonged pupil biofeedback training influences self-regulation of arousal at rest and during cognitive tasks, and how factors such as demographics and personality traits shape its effectiveness.
The project will be jointly supervised by the Neural Control of Movement lab at ETH Zurich and the Sports Psychology group at SFISM. A substantial part of the research activities will take place in Magglingen.
