Toomas Erik Anijärv

I am a biomedical engineer with interests in neuroscience and neurotechnology. I recently obtained a Master’s degree in Medical Technology and Physics from TalTech University in Estonia and currently work as a research assistant at the Thompson Institute of University of the Sunshine Coast in Australia .

My current research interests include examining different electroencephalography (EEG) methods as biomarkers for depression, suicidality, ageing, and cognition. Most of my EEG-related code for signal processing and analysis can be found on my GitHub as EEG-pyline: EEG pipeline in Python. Furthermore, I am eager to learn more about other neuroimaging methods (e.g., fMRI, MRS, MEG, NIRS), neuromodulation (e.g., TMS, TDCS, DBS), machine/deep learning, and neuroscience in general. I’ve also created a Python package HLR - Hierarchical Linear Regression which allows researchers to perform hierarchical regression with ease in Python using Pandas dataframes.

Besides my active involvement with neuroscience and biomedical engineering, I am interested in brain ageing and longevity research, history, and space exploration.

The next milestone in my career is doing a PhD. Thereby, I am actively looking for a project for my upcoming PhD journey.
