Fwd: PhD position
by Gary Green 05 Dec '14

05 Dec '14

We have an PhD position available at the ISVR, Southampton: ISVR-HABC-114: Optimizing the detection of cortical auditory evoked potentials in hearing aid fitting verification See http://www.findaphd.com/search/ProjectDetails.aspx?PJID=59050 for details. Hearing aids are now routinely fitted to infants as young as 6 weeks of age, following hearing screening. After fitting it is desirable to test whether the infant has access to auditory input, but before the age of 6-8 months it is not possible to carry out conventional clinical tests. In patients with dementia or learning difficulties, there are similar challenges. There is growing clinical interest in using Cortical Auditory Evoked Potential (CAEP) to address this. CAEPs are obtained by recording the electrical signals from the brain (EEG signals, recorded by electrodes on the scalp) during auditory stimulation. Through appropriate signal processing methods, the specific responses to the stimuli can be extracted. The current project will extend our previous work in this area by developing, testing and optimizing signal processing and statistical methods to detect the presence of CAEPs in the recorded signals, using data from healthy adults and small groups of patients (obtained with the assistance of clinical audiologists). Successful applicants will have to demonstrate good knowledge of signal processing and statistics. While prior knowledge of audiology or evoked potentials is not required, some practical experience with biomedical applications of signal processing will be a distinct advantage. ISVR has one of the UKs leading academic groups in audiology, with undergraduate, MSc and PhD programmes training professionals for clinical and research environments. The project will be supervised by Prof. David Simpson and Dr. Steven Bell, who have a background in biomedical signal processing and audiology, respectively. The work will be carried out in collaboration with industry with co-supervision from Dr. James Harte (Interacoustics Research Unit, Copenhagen, Denmark). Funding support comes from the Oticon Foundation (Denmark), and the project is expected to include a short stay (approximately 3 months) in Copenhagen. Funding covers living costs and home/EU (not overseas) student fees. If you wish to discuss any details of the project informally, please contact Prof. David Simpson, Human Sciences Group, ISVR, Email:ds@isvr.soton.ac.uk <http://www.findaphd.com/search/EmailEnquiry.aspx?fapjid=59050&LID=1427&EA=d…> Tel: +44 (0) 2380 59 3221, or Dr. Steven Bell, Human Sciences Group, ISVR, Email: slb(a)soton.ac.uk <http://www.findaphd.com/search/EmailEnquiry.aspx?fapjid=59050&LID=1427&EA=s…> Tel: +44 (0) 2380 59 4950 -- Dr. Stefan Bleeck, Associate Professor Hearing and Balance Centre, Institute of Sound and Vibration Research, Faculty of Engineering and the Environment, University of Southampton, SO17 1BJ, UK Room 4093, Tizard Building (13), bleeck(a)gmail.com <mailto:bleeck@gmail.com> Tel.: 02380 596682

Fwd: PhD position - Human Neuroscience and Visual Cognition Lab, Wright State University
by Gary Green 04 Dec '14

04 Dec '14

Two PhD positions are now available at the Human Neuroscience and Visual Cognition Lab at the Department of Psychology, Wright State University beginning Fall 2015. The newly established lab is headed by Dr. Assaf Harel and investigates high-level vision and its neural substrates. We are interested in how visual recognition occurs in real-world settings and adopt a neuroergonomic approach to study the applied aspects of high-level vision. For this purpose, we employ a diversity of cognitive neuroscience methods, including EEG, fMRI, and psychophysics. Topics of research include visual expertise, object and scene recognition, categorization and perceptual learning. For more information on the lab, contact Dr. Assaf Harel at: assaf.harel(a)wright.edu. The Department of Psychology is housed in the College of Science and Mathematics, offers a Ph.D. in Human Factors and Industrial/ Organizational Psychology, and has 3 undergraduate concentration areas: (1) Cognition and Perception, (2) Industrial/ Organizational, and (3) Behavioral Neuroscience. Wright State University was recently ranked among the “Best in the Midwest” universities by The Princeton Review, listed among 260 Best National Universities in the annual “America’s Best Colleges” rankings by U.S. News and World Report, and ranked fourth nationally among universities with limited numbers of doctoral programs in the Faculty Scholarly Productivity Index. For more information on the department and the graduate program go to: http://science-math.wright.edu/psychology/programs/graduate-program-overview. Application deadline is January 1, 2015.
