In our natural dynamic environment the senses are constantly
bombarded with many different signals. How does the human
brain integrate information from multiple senses during
perception? To
study
the neural mechanisms of multisensory integration and
learning, we combine psychophysics, functional imaging
(fMRI, EEG/MEG & interleaved TMS-fMRI) and models of
Bayesian Inference and learning.
The Computational Cognitive Neuroimaging
Group (Prof Uta Noppeney) is seeking 1 enthusiastic PostDoc
and 2 PhD candidates. Applicants should have a
strong quantitative background and a degree in
neuroscience, psychology, computer science, physics,
medicine or related areas. Prior experience in functional
imaging, MatLab, data analysis and/or machine learning would
be an advantage.
The lab is part of the Computational Neuroscience and
Cognitive Robotics Centre and the Department of Psychology
of the University of Birmingham, UK. The centre provides an
excellent multidisciplinary and collaborative research
environment combining expertise in cognitive neuroimaging,
psychophysics and computational neuroscience. The psychology
department was rated 3rd in the UK research assessment
exercise.
Applications will be
considered until the positions are filled. Starting dates
are flexible. For further information, please contact u.noppeney@bham.ac.uk
