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 factors such as electrical interference signals or pharmacological effects; Validation of the developed solution with existing neuromonitoring systems; Documentation, analysis, and evaluation of the results; Derivation of a concept for further development into a near-production product
