2 PhD positions in Computational Cognitive Neuroimaging; University of Birmingham, UK
In our natural dynamic environment our 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 perceptionand 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 2 enthusiastic 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 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.

Applications will be considered until the positions are filled. Starting dates are flexible. The PhD position (including stipend + fees for EU students) is funded for three years. For further information, please contact u.noppeney@bham.ac.uk and see
