Computational Neuroscience Postdoc position in New York
by Salvador Dura-Bernal June 25, 2023

June 25, 2023

A Postdoc position is now available in the Dura-Bernal Lab<http://dura-bernal.org/> at the State University of New York (SUNY) Downstate Health Sciences University (Brooklyn, New York), working on a new exciting multidisciplinary project entitled "Restoring motor function after spinal cord injury using multiscale modeling to decode neural latent dynamics from motor cortex EEG." The position is funded by New York State (NYS) Department of Health (DOH) Spinal Cord Injury Research program. The project aims to improve brain-machine interface decoders by combining multiscale modeling of motor cortex circuits, analysis of low-dimensional neural manifolds associated with behavior, and realistic simulation of EEG signals. See our recent Cell Reports publication describing the multiscale motor cortex model and behavior-related neural manifolds: www.cell.com/cell-reports/fulltext/S2211-1247(23)00585-5<http://dura-bernal.org/www.cell.com/cell-reports/fulltext/S2211-1247(23)005…> For more details and how to apply visit: http://dura-bernal.org/postdoc-2023<https://t.co/aGDh79EjyE> (Please share!) ________________________________ The contents of this email message and any attachments are confidential and are intended solely for the addressee.

1 PhD position on: New methods for realistic and comfortable experiences in AR
by Agostino Gibaldi June 22, 2023

June 22, 2023

We are inviting applications for one fully funded PhD position (3 years) in the Department of Informatics, Bioengineering, Robotics, and Systems Engineering <https://dibris.unige.it/en>, at the University of Genoa (IT), in collaboration with Magic Leap <https://www.magicleap.com/en-us/>. The research theme focuses on realistic and comfortable experiences in Augmented Reality (more info in the attached call for position). Interested applicants are welcome to reach out for more information about the theme and the position. The official call can be found here: https://unige.it/dottorati-di-ricerca You can apply from June 09 at 03.00 pm (italian time) to July 10 at 12.00 noon (italian time) at this page: https://unige.it/en/students/phd-programmes Best, Agostino Gibaldi, PhD Human Vision Scientist Magic Leap *New methods for realistic and comfortable* *experiences in AR – University of Genoa* *Curriculum: *Industry 4.0 *Hosting Institution: *University of Genoa *Department: *Department of Informatics, Bioengineering, Robotics, and Systems Engineering (DIBRIS) *Tutors:* Silvio P. Sabatini, Andrea Canessa, Gerrit Maus, Agostino Gibaldi *Description:* Optical see-through (OST) augmented reality head-mounted displays (HMD) have emerged as a key asset in several application fields. In OST HMDs the direct view of the world is mostly preserved and there is no perspective conversion in viewpoint and field of view, as with video see-through (VST) systems. This aspect confers a clear advantage over VST solutions, particularly when used to interact with close objects. Although there have been significant improvements to performance and comfort of OST HMDs, limitations associated with human perception still remain to be addressed. In order to provide the user with a realistic, natural and comfortable visual experience, a thorough and accurate knowledge of eye characteristics and HMD geometry must be assumed. These quantities are usually calibrated on a per-device and per-user basis, or modeled from scientific literature. A deviation of the actual values from the expected ones can result in incorrect camera placement, spatial distortions and non-uniformities, thus triggering discomfort in VR/AR. The goal of this research project is to develop methods and techniques to assess and mitigate discomfort and perceptual inconsistencies between real and augmented visual content in OST HMDs. A joint experimental and modeling approach will be followed in order to: 1. investigate methods to evaluate different sources of discomfort/mismatch; 2. develop subjective and objective methods to quantify the originated discomfort; 3. investigate strategies to mitigate the sources of discomfort/mismatch in AR/VR devices. *Requirements:* Applicants are expected to: 1) have a keen interest in Vision Science and in Augmented Reality, 2) have good programming skills in at least one language (Matlab, C/C++, Python, C#), 3) work well in group problem solving situations, 4) have intermediate communication skills (oral and written) in English or better. Experience in Unity 3D is a plus. *References:* [1] Konrad, R., Angelopoulos, A., & Wetzstein, G. (2020). Gaze-contingent ocular parallax rendering for virtual reality.

CFP - IROS 2023 Workshop on World Models and Predictive Coding in Cognitive Robotics
by nagai.yukie＠mail.u-tokyo.ac.jp June 21, 2023

June 21, 2023

Dear colleagues, **************************** Call for Posters and Participation Workshop on World Models and Predictive Coding in Cognitive Robotics 2023 IEEE/RSJ International Conference on Intelligent Robots and Systems (IROS 2023) **************************** We are inviting contributions to our IROS 2023 workshop. We would like to invite workshop attendees to submit an extended abstract explaining their current work related to world models and predictive coding in cognitive robotics. [ Website ] https://world-model.emergent-symbol.systems/ Contact email: taniguchi(a)em.ci.ritsumei.ac.jp (Tadahiro Taniguchi, Ritsumeikan University) [ Important Dates ] Paper submission deadline: 5th August 2023 Notification of acceptance: 19th August 2023 Camera-ready submission: 10th September 2023 Workshop day: 5th October 2023 [ Call for Contributions ] We encourage researchers to submit 1-2 page extended abstracts or a preprint of relevant work. There is no page limitation for the preprint. Accepted abstracts will be posted on the workshop website and will not appear in the official IEEE proceedings. The reviewing process is single-blind and will be carried out by the workshop organizers. Please submit your extended abstract via the Google form: https://forms.gle/Sw7UtX1ihtq4vpgA9 (The URL is also provided on the website) Accepted papers will have the opportunity to present their work/ideas in a poster session. Additionally, a few select submissions will have the chance to give a short talk, while others will give a flash talk. [ Special Issue ] Furthermore, a selected number of papers from the poster sessions will be invited to submit their novel work to the Special Issue proposed in the journal "Advanced Robotics.” [ Awards ] The Best Cognitive Robotics Paper Award, supported by the Technical Committee of Cognitive Robotics, will be awarded to the best paper. The recipient of the award will receive a prize of $300. [ Objectives ] This workshop will explore new frontiers in robotics, focusing on world models, predictive coding, probabilistic generative models, and the free energy principle. The ultimate goal of cognitive and developmental robotics is to create autonomous robots capable of actively exploring their environment, acquiring knowledge, and continuously learning skills. Crucially, to develop robots that learn through interactions with their environment, their learning processes should emulate human cognitive development and learning, which are based on engagement with the physical and social world. This workshop specifically focuses on world models and predictive coding in cognitive robotics. World models have recently garnered significant interest in artificial intelligence, as cognitive systems utilize these models to improve future sensory predictions and optimize their policies or controllers. In neuroscience, predictive coding posits that the brain constantly anticipates its inputs and adjusts its models to manage dynamics and control behavior in its environment. Both concepts may underlie the cognitive development of robots and humans capable of continuous or lifelong learning. The workshop aims to provide a platform for researchers and practitioners in cognitive robotics to exchange ideas and explore new avenues for the development of autonomous cognitive and developmental robots. This enriching experience will contribute to the growth and advancement of the field of cognitive robotics.
