Bachelor’s Thesis: Deep Learning-Driven Attention Deficit Hyperactivity Disorder (ADHD) Diagnosis Using resting-State fMRI (f/m/d)

Background

We have been working on the diagnosis of ADHD using AI models since 2020, but no model has achieved better results than those reported in the literature. One reason for this may be that the dataset used does not allow for the diagnosis of different types of ADHD and healthy data. To obtain better results, the dataset should be refined, and further research should be conducted to determine what additional data should be included in the dataset (ADHD-200: https://fcon_1000.projects.nitrc.org/indi/adhd200/).

What You Will Do

• Conduct comprehensive literature research on methods for detecting ADHD
• Analyze the dataset, examining the distribution of different classes and providing a statistical explanation
• Utilize and train Convolutional Neural Network (CNN) and YOLO models for ADHD detection
• Document the research process and findings thoroughly, adhering to an academic writing style

What You Bring to the Table

• Currently enrolled as a full-time Bachelor’s student in biomedical engineering, computer science, or a related field, with a strong academic record (GPA: 2.80+)
• Proficient in academic writing, with a keen interest in research (publication of an academic article is an advantage)
• Experience in research methodologies, including conducting literature reviews and writing comprehensive reports
• Hands-on experience with machine/deep learning, particularly with neural networks (familiarity with PyTorch, TensorFlow, and YOLO is a plus).
• Strong proficiency in English and/or German.

What You Can Expect

• A supportive and collaborative working atmosphere within an international team.
• Professional supervision and support for your thesis, ensuring alignment with academic standards.
• Flexibility with home office options.
• Guidance on applications for Master’s programs at German universities, especially the Technical University of Munich.
