Arnab Rakshit

Dr. Arnab is currently a Postdoctoral Research Fellow at the Oxford Centre for Human Brain Activity, where his work focuses on signal processing for optically pumped magnetometer-based magnetoencephalography (OPM-MEG). His research spans pattern recognition, statistical machine learning, and non-linear systems modelling, with an emphasis on developing open-source analytical frameworks tailored to OPM data. Recently, he has begun investigating the retinotopic organization of the visual cortex using OPM-MEG and is also exploring its applications in brain–computer interface (BCI) technologies.

Before joining Oxford, Dr. Arnab held a postdoctoral position at the University of Birmingham. He completed his Ph.D. in Engineering at Jadavpur University, India, specializing in Artificial Intelligence and Brain–Robot Interfaces under the supervision of Prof. Amit Konar. His academic background includes an M.Engg in Biomedical Engineering and a B.Engg in Electrical Engineering. He was awarded the prestigious Direct Senior Research Fellowship by the Council of Scientific and Industrial Research (CSIR), Government of India, which fully supported his doctoral studies.
