Job Description
Neuroscience & EEG Subject Matter Expert (SME)
Organization:Basil Health
Role Type:Full-time
Location:Primarily in Delhi, but flexible with travel to partner hospitals and wellness centers
Role Overview
Basil Health is developing aportable EEG-based neurotechnology platformdesigned to enable scalable monitoring and assessment of brain states related tostress, anxiety, relaxation, and early cognitive decline, including Mild Cognitive Impairment (MCI) and Alzheimer's disease.
We are seeking aNeuroscience & EEG Subject Matter Expert (SME)who will help bridgeneuroscience, signal processing, and artificial intelligencewith real-world clinical and wellness deployments.
The SME will work closely with theproduct, AI, and demonstration teamsto explain the scientific foundations of Basil Health's EEG platform, providetechnical justification for projects, and engage with clinicians and institutional partners during demonstrations and pilot programs.
Portable EEG systems have increasingly been used to detect neural signatures associated with cognitive impairment and emotional regulation, with machine-learning models enabling automated identification of neurophysiological biomarkers relevant for mental health and neurodegenerative conditions.
Key Responsibilities
Scientific Validation and Technical Advocacy
- Provideexpert interpretation of EEG signals and neurophysiological biomarkersgenerated by Basil Health's portable EEG system.
- Explain thescientific basis of EEG-derived metrics related to stress, relaxation, and cognitive decline.
- Support clinical discussions with neurologists, psychiatrists, psychologists, and wellness practitioners.
Deployment and Demonstration Support
- Accompany thedemo/testing team to hospitals, diagnostic centers, and wellness facilities.
- Providetechnical justification for the device and its analytics pipelineduring demonstrations and pilot deployments.
- Address scientific and methodological questions from institutional stakeholders.
AI and Signal Processing Integration
- Collaborate with the AI/ML team to evaluatealgorithms used for EEG feature extraction and classification.
- Contribute to development ofbiomarkers for stress regulation, cognitive impairment, and brain-state monitoring.
- Assist in validatingsignal-processing pipelines including filtering, artifact removal, spectral analysis, and connectivity measures.
Clinical and Research Collaboration
- Help designpilot studies and validation protocolswith partner hospitals and research institutions.
- Interpret results fromEEG-based cognitive and emotional assessments.
- Contribute totechnical reports, white papers, and scientific publications.
Required Qualifications
Education
- PhD in Neuroscience, Cognitive Neuroscience, Biomedical Engineering, Neuroengineering, or a closely related field.
Expertise
- Strong background inEEG acquisition, preprocessing, and analysis.
- Knowledge ofneural correlates of stress, anxiety, attention, and cognitive decline.
- Experience withmachine learning approaches applied to EEG signals.
Technical Skills
- Familiarity with EEG analysis tools such as:
- Python (MNE, NeuroKit)
- MATLAB / EEGLAB
- Signal processing frameworks
- Understanding of:
- Spectral analysis (alpha, theta, beta rhythms)
- Functional connectivity measures
- Artifact removal methods (ICA, filtering)
Preferred Qualifications
- Experience working withportable or wearable EEG devices.
- Research experience related toMild Cognitive Impairment or Alzheimer's disease biomarkers.
- Familiarity withdigital mental health technologies or neurofeedback systems.
- Experience interacting withclinical partners and hospital administrators.
- Being a meditator oneself is a positive bonus.
Key Outcomes Expected
The SME will help ensure that Basil Health's neurotechnology:
- Isscientifically credible and clinically interpretable.
- Is effectively communicated tohealthcare institutions and wellness partners.
- Is validated throughrigorous neuroscience and signal-processing methodologies.
