My colleague Elia Formisano at Maastricht University is advertising several positions.

Exciting PhD & Postdoc Positions at Maastricht University and CNRS Marseille – Join the ERC-Synergy NASCE Project!


Are you passionate about neuroscience and AI? Do you want to unravel how the human brain makes sense of everyday soundscapes? Join Elia Formisano and Bruno L. Giordano in the ERC-Synergy NASCE project (Natural Auditory SCEnes in Humans and Machines), where we explore the neural computations behind real-world auditory scene analysis (ASA).

Our research combines AI, behavioral experiments (both classic and online), neuroimaging (ultra-high-field fMRI, MEG, iEEG), and advanced statistical modeling to develop groundbreaking theories and models of auditory perception. Funded by the European Union (ERC-2024-SyG, NASCE)
