The LIMO_EEG team (https://gforge.dcn.ed.ac.uk/gf/project/limo_eeg/) is looking for a post-doc RA. *Background*: In recent years, new ways to investigate EEG recordings have emerged. In particular, Event Related Spectral Perturbations (ERSP) and Inter-Trial phase Coherence (ITC) have become the standard to characterize the time-frequency decompositions of signals from electrodes or components (e.g. from independent component analysis). We have a position available for a post-doctoral researcher to assist in the development of new statistical methods for ERSP and ITC analyses of EEG data. The job will consist in implementing and validating multiple comparison correction techniques, and developing the LIMO_EEG toolbox.
