POSTDOCTORAL FELLOWSHIP IN THE COGNITIVE NEUROSCIENCE OF SCHIZOPHRENIA AT THE MARYLAND PSYCHIATRIC RESEARCH CENTER We are seeking applicants interested in negative symptoms and motivational deficits in schizophrenia. This work is supported by a 5 year RO1 that involves an extensive collaboration with Michael Frank, a computational neuroscientist at Brown University, JamesWaltz, who does related work using fMRI at MPRC, and Steve Silverstein at Rutgers.The basic approach of the project is to use experimental paradigmsand computational modelingframeworks from the basic neuroscience literature in order to specify the processes that result in alterations of volition and decision-makingThe grant involves both behavioral and electrophysiological methods, thus prior EEG and signal processing experience would be ideal as are good statistical skills. Applications from candidates without prior EEG experience who have strengths in other areas that could be brought to bear in this area of work are also welcome. There will be ample opportunities to take the lead on writing papers as many unpublished data sets available as well as the ability to rapidly implement new experiments with great access to patients who are willing to participate in research.Funding is available for two years, with possible extension.Start date is open as funds are currently available.The lab has a strong track record of helping post-docs go on to achieve independent funding.For more information, please contact James Gold@ jgold(a)mprc.umaryland.edu <mailto:jgold@mprc.umaryland.edu>. -------------------------------------------------------------------- Steven J.

Fwd: [rseminars] Upcoming Research Seminars - Week 4
by David Halliday 18 Oct '13

18 Oct '13

May be of interest to readers of this list -------- Original Message -------- Subject: [rseminars] Upcoming Research Seminars - Week 4 Date: Wed, 16 Oct 2013 12:31:06 +0100 From: Helen Fagan <helen.fagan(a)york.ac.uk> To: rseminars-l(a)ohm.york.ac.uk Point-process analysis of neural signals: from frequency coding to temporal coding Monday 21st October, 1pm Speaker: Dr Luca Citi (University of Essex) Location: PL002 Synopsis: The first part of the talk will show an application of neural decoding for the purpose of controlling a robotic hand prosthesis. In this case the so-called "frequency coding" paradigm was used, which assumes that the neural information is encoded in the firing rate of individual neurons. In the second part, a powerful statistical framework, point processes, will be introduced. Among other applications, point processes have successfully been used for neural decoding, giving access to the so-called "temporal coding" which assumes that the actual time of the spikes carries valuable information in addition to that carried by the rate alone. An application of this method to a functional neuro-muscolar stimulation system will be presented. *Biography:* Dr Luca Citi received a degree in Electronic Engineering in 2004 from the University of Florence, Italy. He did his master's thesis as a visiting student under Riccardo Poli's supervision at the Essex Brain-Computer Interfaces group. In 2005, he enrolled in a PhD program at Scuola Superiore Sant'Anna (Italy) with a thesis about the decoding of neural signals for the control of robotic arm prostheses. He then spent three years as post-doc at Harvard Medical School and Massachusetts Institute of Technology working on statistical analysis of point processes (stochastic processes representing discrete events in time) applied to heartbeat series and neural spike trains. He is currently a Lecturer in Computational Intelligence at the University of Essex. -- Miss Helen Fagan Graduate Administrative Assistant ******************************************** Department of Electronics University of York Heslington York YO10 5DD Telephone: 01904 324485 Fax: 01904 323224 Email:helen.fagan@york.ac.uk <mailto:helen.fagan@york.ac.uk> EMAIL DISCLAIMERhttp://www.york.ac.uk/docs/disclaimer/email.htm <http://www.york.ac.uk/50> athena_email.JPG
