OverviewResearch Internships at Microsoft provide a dynamic environment for research careers with a network of world-class research labs led by globally-recognized scientists and engineers, who pursue innovation in a range of scientific and technical disciplines to help solve complex challenges in diverse fields, including computing, healthcare, economics, and the environment.The Brain-Computer Interfaces (BCI) project at Microsoft Research aims to make BCI accessible to the general population. This involves developing non-intrusive methods, using fewer electrodes, and designing custom signal acquisition devices. Our focus is on interactive BCI, which requires response times within seconds and relies on EEG and other bio-signals. Researchers from several groups across Microsoft Research are involved in this effort. You can learn more about the project at: https://www.microsoft.com/en-us/research/project/brain-computer-interfaces/.
ResponsibilitiesResearch Interns put inquiry and theory into practice. Alongside fellow doctoral candidates and some of the world's best researchers, Research Interns learn, collaborate, and network for life. Research Interns not only advance their own careers, but they also contribute to exciting research and development strides. During the 12-week internship, Research Interns are paired with mentors and expected to collaborate with other Research Interns and researchers, present findings, and contribute to the vibrant life of the community. Research internships are available in all areas of research, and are offered year-round, though they typically begin in the summer.Additional ResponsibilitiesSummer Research Interns in the MSR BCI project work on well-defined projects that encourage open exploration and collaboration, guided by dedicated mentors. The Research Internship concludes with a final presentation open to all Microsoft employees and, ideally, results in a peer-reviewed scientific publication. | |
