Job Vacancies in Neuroinformatics
The Cognitive
Engineering Lab of Singapore Institute for Neurotechnology (SINAPSE) (http://www.sinapseinstitute.org/) is
seeking to appoint one Research Fellow (RF) and one Research Assistant (RA) for
a period of 1 year; (positions to be filled as soon as possible). Remuneration
and benefits will be based in NUS standards and candidates’ qualifications and
years in service.
Research Topic
· Our group is leading a project aiming to develop virtual reality
(VR)-based brain augmentation systems including realistic VR based simulations
and real-time brain states analysis. The
simulation applications will be
developed (in Unity3D Game Engineer) for virtual reality system to provide various
stimuli. A remote EEG system will be used to monitor the brain activity in real
time.
· The aims of the
study is to identify reliable and robust individual biomarkers of cognitive
states for VR-based training scenarios and compare the training effects with
traditional 2-Dimensional computer based simulations to understand
if VR-based trainings lead to better user-experience and performance
Scientific profile for the Research Fellow Position

degree in Computer
Science, Human-Computer Interaction or Cognitive Science
· Publications in
Computational Intelligence and Machine Learning Methods and/or Brain Computer Interaction with
applications
· Bachelor or Master Degree in Computer Science or
Computer Engineering
· Knowledge of experimental
design in cognitive-related experiments
Scientific profile for the Research Assistant Position
· Bachelor or Master Degree in Computer Science or
Computer Engineering
· Experience of game
research or game development (experience of VR preferred, both Oculus Rift and
