Senior🎓
Top SchoolCyril Pernet is a Senior Research Software Engineer based in Copenhagen with 12 years of experience building high-performance, GDPR-compliant data and computational platforms for clinical brain research. Trained as a cognitive psychologist and neuroimager (PhD), he bridges neuroscience and engineering, designing federated data-sharing workflows and tooling that support multicenter studies of brain disease. He combines hands-on software development—contributing notable BIDS-format export and data-handling features to the widely used EEGLAB project—with clinical functional imaging work at NHS Lothian. Known for pragmatic solutions that tame messy research data, he also brings academic leadership from long-standing roles at Edinburgh and Glasgow, where he managed hardware, teaching, and scientific collaborations.

Contributions summary:Cyril significantly contributed to the EEGLAB project by adding and modifying code related to the JSONio library, implementing functions to export and reorganize data following the BIDS specification, including channelloc_to_tsv.m, electrodes_to_tsv.m, and events_to_tsv.m. Further development included creating a function for renaming BrainVision files and making changes to several core EEGLAB functions. These additions suggest a focus on data handling, format conversion, and integrating with external data standards like BIDS.
