A Doctor of Philosophy (PhD) degree in Rehabilitation Science attracts students from exercise physiology, engineering, physical therapy, psychology, and the related basic biosciences. Faculty members have independent research programs and collaborate with several departments within the College of Medicine or across Colleges (Nursing, Engineering, VA, and Liberal Arts and Sciences). Current research labs include a gait laboratory, a neuromuscular control spinal cord injury research laboratory, motor control/neuromuscular/Biomechanics laboratories, exercise physiology laboratories, sports medicine laboratories, neuromuscular biomechanics laboratory, and a basic “wet lab” neurobiology of pain research laboratory. Core research facilities in the College of Medicine are readily accessible with “state of the art” imaging and molecular core facilities.

Fwd: Post-doc position on brain development imaging at NeuroSpin (France)

by Gary Green

The team of “brain development imaging” ( Gif-sur-Yvette, France) offers a 2-year post-doctoral position from September 2013, on the study of cortical and white matter maturation in infants using complementary multi-modal imaging methods. The team research is focused on the cerebral bases of cognitive functions in healthy babies and on the relationships between functional development and the anatomical maturation of cerebral networks with emphasis on language and vision. The team has performed pioneer works on language perception with functional MRI (Dehaene-Lambertz et al, Science 2002), on correlations between white matter development and its functional efficiency (respectively assessed by diffusion tensor imaging DTI and event-related potentials; Dubois et al, J. Neuroscience 2008), and on cortical maturation (Leroy el al, J. Neuroscience 2011). The post-doctoral candidate will integrate this research topic, combining anatomical MRI, DTI, mappings of T1 and T2 relaxation times and EEG in healthy infants to assess the structural and functional organization of the developing brain. Applicants should possess solid technical background in imaging techniques (MRI, EEG, MEG) and in post-processing tools or in signal processing and computational science. Knowledge (or at least a strong interest) in human cognition and brain development would be appreciated. Applications should be sent to Jessica Dubois (jessica.dubois(a)cea.fr <mailto:jessica.dubois@cea.fr>) and Ghislaine Dehaene-Lambertz (ghislaine.dehaene(a)cea.fr <mailto:ghislaine.dehaene@cea.fr>). The Cognitive Neuroimaging Unit (INSERM-CEA U992) is implemented in the NeuroSpin centre, localized in the suburb of Paris. This centre gathers varied research laboratories on cognitive neuroscience, biophysics, imaging and post-processing methodologies, etc. The platform is organized around non-invasive techniques which are particularly suitable for imaging infants and children (3T MRI, “mock MRI scanner”, EEG and MEG installations).

Reminder: MEG research group meeting

by Markus van Ackeren

Hi everyone, This is just to remind you of our MEG research group meeting, tomorrow (18th) at 12.15 in C003. As mentioned in my previous email, this meeting will be a journal club. After a short introduction to Dynamic Causal Modeling by Gary Green, we will discuss a paper by Pinotsis and colleagues that was published earlier this year in Neuroimage. Please find the paper here: http://dx.doi.org/10.1016/j.neuroimage.2012.10.078 For those less familiar with Dynamic Causal Modeling, I would like to recommend having a look at the following paper by Stefan Kiebel: http://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pmc/articles/PMC2427062/ There is also an excellent Scholarpedia page on the topic: http://www.scholarpedia.org/article/Dynamic_causal_modeling Hope to see you tomorrow, Markus
