Project Details:

The early and accurate diagnosis of brain neurological disorder diseases like epilepsy, sleep disorders, Alzheimers etc. is a major public health problem. In this context, machine learning approaches are particularly promising in order to design systems that can accurately classify patients with epilepsy, sleep disorders, Alzheimers etc. and predict their evolution at the earliest stage. Machine learning approaches have been successfully applied to the individual classification of different neurological and psychiatric conditions such as epilepsy, sleep disorders, Alzheimers and Parkinsonian syndromes. The main objective of this project is to develop a new machine learning approach for analysis and classification of brain neurological disorder patients like epilepsy, sleep disorders, Alzheimers etc. The performance of the developed algorithm will be compared with the existing algorithms using several measures; classification accuracy, sensitivity, specificity, receiver operating characteristic and Matthews correlation coefficient etc.

Stipend and duration: The amount of fellowship will be as per CSIR norms and it is INR 36,000/ -pm plus HRA. Initial appointment is for one year and co-terminus with the project. Interested M.Tech. /M.S. /M.E. candidates will be encouraged to enroll for the PhD program at IIT Indore.
