Detecting covert speech periods from magnetoencephalographic recordings
This project aims to analyze MEG recordings to identify neural signatures of covert speech (inner speech) using machine learning and signal processing, seeking to overcome the temporal limitations of fMRI. If successful, it could establish a reliable neuromarker for detecting covert speech and potentially auditory verbal hallucinations in schizophrenia, with performance benchmarked against EEG and fMRI classifiers.

Phasic TMS to relieve auditory-verbal hallucinations in schizophrenia patients
This PhD offer focuses on conducting a randomized controlled crossover trial using adaptive Transcranial Magnetic Stimulation (TMS) to treat Auditory Verbal Hallucinations (AVHs) in schizophrenia patients, with the candidate responsible for patient recruitment, TMS delivery, and validating therapy efficacy through behavioral and imaging measures. The project is part of the interdisciplinary LOOP initiative at the University of Lille, aiming to develop innovative neuropsychiatric therapies.
