Please find below an advertisement for a post-doctoral position in the Aston Brain Centre, Birmingham, UK. This is an excellent salary for an early-career researcher who meets the Marie-Curie requirements (see below). We are particularly looking for someone with experience in MEG data collection and analysis, and who is interested in becoming part of a vibrant EU-funded Initial Training Network which provides many opportunities for travel and networking. Prior experience with language research would be welcome but is not a requirement. To meet the Marie Curie requirements, you need to be within the first five years of your research career, and not resident in the UK for more than 12 months in the last 3 years. Please feel free to contact me or Joel Talcott (j.b.talcott(a)aston.ac.uk <mailto:j.b.talcott@aston.ac.uk>) with any enquiries. --- Aston University School of Life & Health Sciences Post-Doctoral Research Fellow - EU Marie Curie Initial Training Network (ITN) 2-year fully funded Magnetoencephalographic investigations of language function in typical and atypical development Salary £53,765 per annum plus mobility allowance As part of the Marie Curie Initial Training Network, LanPercept, the Aston Brain Centre is seeking an experienced and creative researcher to undertake a 2-year Post-doctoral position to develop and refine protocols for mapping receptive and expressive language using magnetoencephalography (MEG). Applicants should hold a PhD in a relevant Life Sciences or Physical Sciences discipline. The project will develop methodologies for functional studies of language localization, for use in children and in atypical populations (for e.g. epilepsy).

YNiC seminar today (external speaker)
by rem 12 Jun '14

12 Jun '14

Dear Users This afternoon (starting 4 pm in B020, Department of Psychology) Dr. Mark Woolrich from the Oxford Centre for Human Brain Activity will give a talk on "Fast transient networks in spontaneous brain activity". Abstract: In recent years interest has grown in the study of networks of functionally specific brain regions, principally through the use of functional MRI on the resting brain. Resting state brain networks have also been independently identified in magentoencephalography (MEG) data by looking at correlations in the power of oscillations in specific frequency bands [Brookes et al., PNAS, 2011]. However, the mechanisms and dynamics underlying resting-state brain activity remain under debate. In this talk I will present a two-pronged approach to investigating spontaneous brain activity using MEG. First, the use of a novel hidden Markov model approach to identify resting state brain networks that switch on the order of 100ms, much faster than has previously been reported. Second, the use of computational network models, based on anatomical white matter connectivity, that can simulate functional connectivity characteristics similar to those seen in real MEG data. Everyone is welcome to attend and refreshments will be served in the C block reception afterwards. We will be taking Mark out for dinner after his talk. Please let me know if you would like to join us. Best wishes Rebecca -- ************************************************************************ Dr. Rebecca E.

Fwd:Method development for coupled EEG-fMRI (2x full EPSRC PhD studentships)
by Gary Green 11 Jun '14

11 Jun '14

Method development for coupled EEG-fMRI (2x full EPSRC PhD studentships) The goal of the project is to develop novel methods for the joint analysis of signals from electroencephalography (EEG) and functional magnetic resonance imaging (fMRI), when they are obtained concurrently. Technological advances of the last 10 years make it possible for scientists to record both modalities concurrently, in what is now known as coupled EEG-fMRI. By simultaneously recording these two modalities, scientists can potentially say where and when neural activity is occurring, whereas previously researchers had to settle for one or the other. This engineering feat, however, has not yet been met with the ability to make use of the combination of these signals to infer more knowledge than would otherwise be gathered in separate experiments. Filling this gap is the ambition of the present project. This is a method project, which requires skills and knowledge in neuroscience, applied mathematics/statistics/physics and programming. Candidates who have a strong background in at least two of these three fields are encouraged to apply, if they are enthusiastic about the third. Two full studentships are available, and we expect to appoint one candidate who is stronger in empirical work and a second who is stronger in analytics. Candidates are expected to have had some prior exposure to at least one of the two modalities, but will receive training in both. The two students will be supervised by Dr. Etienne Roesch and receive support from Dr. Michael Lindner and Prof. Tom Johnstone, with R&D support from Brain Products, one of the world’s leading manufacturers of MRI-compatible EEG systems. The group led by Dr. Roesch fosters interdisciplinary thinking, and students will have the opportunity to engage in ongoing empirical and modelling work related to perception and action. The Centre for Integrative Neuroscience and Neurodynamics (CINN) is host to a research-dedicated 3T Siemens TRIO, with a full license for sequence development, and a full suite of MR-compatible systems. Additionally, the students will be granted access to the cluster of NVIDIA Tesla GPUs and other facilities at CINN, as well as at the Brain Embodiments Laboratory, in the School of Systems Engineering. The University of Reading is ranked as one of the UK’s 20 most research-intensive universities and as one of the top 200 universities in the world (Times Higher Education 2013). Our campus was voted first in the Times Higher Education Student Experience survey and has a Green Flag Award. It is situated 25 minutes West of London. Reading University Students’ Union was voted the 6th best in the UK (National Student Survey 2012). Essentials: Commitment to academic research and personal development; Ability to work collaboratively; Effective interpersonal and communication skills, including writing to a high standard, document preparation for technical notes and journal papers; Experience of work in interdisciplinary settings; Attention to details. Desirables: Self-guided work in developing statistical designs and approaches in research; Creative approach to problem solving; Ability to work independently; Experience in giving presentations and conveying complex ideas clearly. Eligibility: Applicants should hold a minimum of a UK Honours Degree at 2:1 level or equivalent in a relevant subject. Please note that due to restrictions on the funding this studentship is for UK/EU applicants only. Funding Details: Studentship will cover Home/EU Fees, pay the Research Council minimum stipend (£13,863 in 2014/15) for up to 3 years and include funding for international conferences. How to apply: To apply for this studentship please submit an application for a PhD in Cybernetics (full time) to the University – see http://www.reading.ac.uk/Study/apply/pg-applicationform.aspx . In the section ‘Research proposal’, please upload or copy-paste your covering letter. When prompted as part of your online application, you should provide details of the funding you are applying for, quoting the reference GS14-68.

Ph.D. position at the University of Tübingen, Germany in the EU-ITN project: *Central effects of gut microbiota manipulation* JOB DESCRIPTION We invite applications for a three‐year Early Stage Researcher (Ph.D. student) position being part of the Marie Curie Initial Training Network NeuroGut (www.neurogut.eu). A strong interest and background in neurosciences is wanted. In animal models as well as in humans, the gut microbiota has been shown to modulate central functions, e.g. the ingestion behavior and response to stress. This has so far been shown to be associated with obesity and other eating disorders but not yet for gut functions and functional gastrointestinal disorders. Whether application of prebiotics and probiotics of different bacterial strains will affect central processing of gut and central (neurocognitive) stimuli is unknown but aim of the current project. The candidate will learn one or more of the current state‐of‐the‐art brain recording techniques (preferentially magnetoencephalography) at the respective neuroimaging facilities at Tübingen University Medical Faculty, first by being involved in ongoing studies while preparing his/her own project. He/she will conduct a first study in healthy volunteers investigating the peripheral (microbiota) and central (sensory and neurocognitive) changes after acute and chronic intake of a probiotic (either as food or as drug). This will eventually be followed by a similar study in patients with either functional bowel disorders (such as the irritable bowel syndrome, IBS) or with psychiatric or neurologic dysfunctions. Highly competitive salary as well as funds to participate in training activities of the NeuroGut network as well as in international conferences will be provided. The candidate will also enrol in the PhD program of the Graduate Training Center of Neuroscience at Eberhard Karls University Tübingen (http://www.neuroschool‐tuebingen.de) for lectures, seminars, and other learning activities. Please send CV and application letter to Prof. Paul Enck at (paul.enck(a)xn--unituebingen-i09f.de). Application deadline for this position is June 30th, 2014.

YNiC seminar 12th June (external speaker)
by rem 09 Jun '14

09 Jun '14

Dear Users This Thursday (starting 4 pm in B020, Department of Psychology) Dr. Mark Woolrich from the Oxford Centre for Human Brain Activity will give a talk on "Fast transient networks in spontaneous brain activity". Abstract: In recent years interest has grown in the study of networks of functionally specific brain regions, principally through the use of functional MRI on the resting brain. Resting state brain networks have also been independently identified in magentoencephalography (MEG) data by looking at correlations in the power of oscillations in specific frequency bands [Brookes et al., PNAS, 2011]. However, the mechanisms and dynamics underlying resting-state brain activity remain under debate. In this talk I will present a two-pronged approach to investigating spontaneous brain activity using MEG. First, the use of a novel hidden Markov model approach to identify resting state brain networks that switch on the order of 100ms, much faster than has previously been reported. Second, the use of computational network models, based on anatomical white matter connectivity, that can simulate functional connectivity characteristics similar to those seen in real MEG data. Everyone is welcome to attend and refreshments will be served in the C block reception afterwards. We will be taking Mark out for dinner after his talk. Please let me know if you would like to join us. Best wishes Rebecca -- ************************************************************************ Dr. Rebecca E.

Fwd: Method development for coupled EEG-fMRI (2x full EPSRC PhD studentships)
by Gary Green 07 Jun '14

07 Jun '14

Method development for coupled EEG-fMRI (2x full EPSRC PhD studentships) The goal of the project is to develop novel methods for the joint analysis of signals from electroencephalography (EEG) and functional magnetic resonance imaging (fMRI), when they are obtained concurrently. Technological advances of the last 10 years make it possible for scientists to record both modalities concurrently, in what is now known as coupled EEG-fMRI. By simultaneously recording these two modalities, scientists can potentially say where and when neural activity is occurring, whereas previously researchers had to settle for one or the other. This engineering feat, however, has not yet been met with the ability to make use of the combination of these signals to infer more knowledge than would otherwise be gathered in separate experiments. Filling this gap is the ambition of the present project. This is a method project, which requires skills and knowledge in neuroscience, applied mathematics/statistics/physics and programming. Candidates who have a strong background in at least two of these three fields are encouraged to apply, if they are enthusiastic about the third. Two full studentships are available, and we expect to appoint one candidate who is stronger in empirical work and a second who is stronger in analytics. Candidates are expected to have had some prior exposure to at least one of the two modalities, but will receive training in both. The two students will be supervised by Dr. Etienne Roesch and receive support from Dr. Michael Lindner and Prof. Tom Johnstone, with R&D support from Brain Products, one of the world’s leading manufacturers of MRI-compatible EEG systems. The group led by Dr. Roesch fosters interdisciplinary thinking, and students will have the opportunity to engage in ongoing empirical and modelling work related to perception and action. The Centre for Integrative Neuroscience and Neurodynamics (CINN) is host to a research-dedicated 3T Siemens TRIO, with a full license for sequence development, and a full suite of MR-compatible systems. Additionally, the students will be granted access to the cluster of NVIDIA Tesla GPUs and other facilities at CINN, as well as at the Brain Embodiments Laboratory, in the School of Systems Engineering. The University of Reading is ranked as one of the UK’s 20 most research-intensive universities and as one of the top 200 universities in the world (Times Higher Education 2013). Our campus was voted first in the Times Higher Education Student Experience survey and has a Green Flag Award. It is situated 25 minutes West of London. Reading University Students’ Union was voted the 6th best in the UK (National Student Survey 2012). Essentials: Commitment to academic research and personal development; Ability to work collaboratively; Effective interpersonal and communication skills, including writing to a high standard, document preparation for technical notes and journal papers; Experience of work in interdisciplinary settings; Attention to details. Desirables: Self-guided work in developing statistical designs and approaches in research; Creative approach to problem solving; Ability to work independently; Experience in giving presentations and conveying complex ideas clearly. Eligibility: Applicants should hold a minimum of a UK Honours Degree at 2:1 level or equivalent in a relevant subject. Please note that due to restrictions on the funding this studentship is for UK/EU applicants only. Funding Details: Studentship will cover Home/EU Fees, pay the Research Council minimum stipend (£13,863 in 2014/15) for up to 3 years and include funding for international conferences. How to apply: To apply for this studentship please submit an application for a PhD in Cybernetics (full time) to the University – see http://www.reading.ac.uk/Study/apply/pg-applicationform.aspx .
