About the internship
Sigma Nova is looking for interns : (starting in Q1 / early Q2 2027)
You will work on publication-oriented research at the intersection of representation learning and neuroscience. Projects will primarily involve EEG, with possible connections to other brain-data modalities, depending on the selected topic and available datasets. We will define a focused research question together, based on your interests and background.
Possible research tracks
1) Robust representations and generalization
Investigate what models learn from brain signals and how to make their representations more useful across subjects and sessions. Possible directions include self-supervised learning, representation analysis, and lightweight adaptation to new recording conditions.
2) Learning across brain-data modalities
Explore how complementary measurements of brain activity and anatomy can inform one another. Depending on the project, this could involve EEG, MRI, or intracranial recordings, with a focus on combining information and evaluating when multimodal learning improves over a single modality.
3) Flexible detection of neural events
Study how models can identify meaningful events in continuous brain recordings from limited supervision. A motivating question is whether a few examples marked by a researcher or clinician can help a model find similar patterns elsewhere, including in previously unseen recordings.
These tracks illustrate the possibilities rather than prescribe a fixed set of methods. The internship will focus on one topic, with room to refine the direction as results emerge.
Preferred experience
Master’s-level training in machine learning, signal processing, computational neuroscience, or a related field
Strong Python skills and experience with PyTorch
Solid foundations in deep learning and an interest in neuroscience
Comfortable reading papers, preparing data, and running careful, reproducible experiments
