Company Description

MindMaze is a leading neurotechnology start-up pioneering a breakthrough computing platform that captures brain activity upon intent, creating a new operating system for computers  and a new generation of brain computer interface  products, using virtual reality (VR), augmented reality (AR) and artificial intelligence (AI). Based on a decade of rigorous testing in the healthcare industry, the company has designed intuitive mind/machine  interfaces, which utilize pre real-time decoding of brain signals and is able to track fine movements and gestures. Its innovations are poised  to transform industries, starting with healthcare and gaming.  Its first generation products (MINDMOTION Pro and MINDMOTION Go) are aimed at rehabilitation following strokes, accidents or neurological impairments.

Join our diverse mix of international scientists, physicists, engineers and clinicians to help change the world!

Job Description

As an intern of the Science Team you will have the opportunity to contribute to one of MindMaze’s key scientific projects over a period ranging from 3 to 12 months. Internships can be converted or combined with a bachelor or master thesis.

The Science team focuses on the nexus of Neuroscience and Virtual Reality technology to develop the next generation of MindMaze's medical products for neurorehabilitation. We use different equipments (AR/VR, motion capture, biosignal recording) to record and analysis both behavioral (movement, reaction times, neuropsychological tests, etc.) and neurophysiological (EEG, EMG, ECG, skin conductance, etc.) information. Currently, we are working on protocols to assess and treat motor and cognitive deficits from different neurological conditions and chronic pain.

You will join our Science team and will focus on:

  • Design and implementation of interactive, multimodal exercises/games in VR/AR;
  • Run studies with healthy participants and, eventually, neurological patients;
  • Analyse multimodal data (behavioural, physiological, game performance);
  • Write documentation and reports and, eventually, publications in international conferences and journals.

To support you MindMaze will:

  • Provide a collaborative work environment;
  • Provide mentoring;
  • Allow flexible employment terms and conditions.

Qualifications

To be successful you can illustrate the fact that you have the following abilities:

  • Working autonomously: setting tasks and direction under limited supervision.
  • Oral and written communication: ability to write clearly and succinctly in a variety of communication settings and styles; ability to get messages across that have the desired effect.
  • Self-Development: personally committed to and actively works to continuously improve him/herself; works on compensating for weakness and limits.
  • Planning accurately: setting objectives and goals; breaking down work into the process steps; developing schedules and task/people assignments; anticipating and adjusting to problems and roadblocks;

Skills that we look out for are among:

  • BSc or MSc in Life Sciences, Computer Science or equivalent;
  • Proven knowledge of Matlab and/or Python;
  • Proven knowledge of C# and Unity3D is a plus

Skills that make a difference:

  • Previous experience in running experimental studies in psychophysics and/or motion analysis;
  • Ability to demonstrate comprehensive knowledge of statistical analysis;
  • Working knowledge of Virtual Reality and Augmented Reality including application development;
  • At least B2 level of French and English.
