YNiC seminar today (external speaker)

Dear Users This afternoon (from 4 pm in B020) there will be a talk on 'Context-dependent representation of auditory time' given by Sundeep Teki from UCL. http://www.fil.ion.ucl.ac.uk/~steki/ <http://www.fil.ion.ucl.ac.uk/%7Esteki/> Abstract: Perception of time is critical for accurate comprehension of natural auditory signals such as speech and music. This talk will present a range of behavioural and functional imaging studies supporting the emerging hypothesis that representation of time is highly context-dependent. Specifically, the talk will focus on the role of rhythmic structure of sequences in shaping human perception of time as well as recent work on the representation of temporal information in working memory. Sundeep will be in the department for a couple of hours prior to his seminar. If you would like to meet with him please email Becky Gilbert (Prince) (becky.prince(a)york.ac.uk) or Sundeep (sundeep.teki(a)gmail.com) to schedule a meeting. We will be taking Sundeep to dinner at Red Chilli before he returns to London this evening. Please let me know if you would like to join us for dinner.

Fwd:Researcher/Postdoctoral position: Multimodal Neuroimaging, Twins, Autism and ADHD, Karolinska Institutet

by Gary Green

One Researcher/postdoc position is available in our group at Karolinska Institutet in Stockholm. Application Deadline is June the 30th 2014. --- Group and Project --- Karolinska Institutet Center of Neurodevelopmental Disorders (KIND) http://ki.se/kind KIND is an excellence center for research, development, education and clinical practice in the area of developmental psychopathology. The Roots of Autism and ADHD Twin Study Sweden (RATSS) is a frontline research project within KIND, focusing on monozygotic twins discordant for autism spectrum disorder and other neurodevelopmental disorders. For the first time ever, twins are examined on multiple levels: behavior, cognition, neurobiology, environment, and genetics to elucidate the etiology of neuropsychiatric disorders. Functional and structural neuroimaging using MRI are an integral part of RATSS. Scanning is performed at the Karolinska Institutet MR Research Center, using a 3 Tesla MR scanner (GE MR750). To date, 80 pairs have been examined. --- Position --- As a neuroimaging researcher (typically, but not necessarily post-doc) in RATSS, while working in a team of scientists, you are mainly responsible for the acquisition and analyses of the multimodal brain imaging data. Diffusion Tensor Imaging (DTI), resting state functional MRI and structural T1 analyses will be integrated into hierarchical network models such as brain connectome. We expect motivation, routine and professionalism in administrative tasks, grant application and article writing. This work will be done in close collaboration with other partners (e.g. Dr. Peter Fransson, the Dept. of Clinical Neuroscience (KI); Institute Pasteur (Paris), EUAIMS project, Mt Sinai (New York)). All details about the position can be found here: https://ki.mynetworkglobal.com/se/what:job/jobID:37590/where:4/ Applications should be submitted here: https://ki.mynetworkglobal.com/en/what:login/jobID:37590/where:4/ Please note that we DO NOT ACCEPT applications being submitted by email.

Fwd: Position for a postdoctoral researcher in Functional Neuroimaging at RWTH Aachen University

by Gary Green

The Department of Diagnostic and Interventional Neuroradiology, RWTH Aachen University, invites applications for a *Position for a postdoctoral researcher in Functional Neuroimaging (TV-L 13).* The position is available starting July 1^st , 2014 or later in the research group “Functional imaging of the chemosensory system”, Department of Diagnostic and Interventional Neuroradiology in the framework of the DFG-funded research project “Targeting the brain through the nose: Influence of intranasal insulin application on the human olfactory system” at RWTH Aachen University. Funding for this position can be provided for two years. The research of the group focuses on behavioral and neuronal correlates of olfactory, trigeminal, and gustatory stimulation as well as the interaction of the chemosensory systems with other sensory systems. Using state-of-the-art stimulation devices in combination with sophisticated behavioral methods and non-invasive means of functional brain imaging (fMRI, EEG/ERP) we investigate how the human brain processes chemosensory stimuli. The project is engaged with the influence of insulin on the olfactory system. We will use the well-established method of intranasal insulin application in combination with behavioral as well as functional imaging methods to investigate the effects of insulin on the olfactory system. The results will provide innovative insights into the interaction of cerebrospinal insulin with the olfactory system. Conclusions on the fundamental mechanisms of insulin effects on food consumption and the mediation of satiety in healthy subjects can be drawn. Our results will provide background information for diseases of which it is well known that cerebrospinal insulin levels are reduced (Morbus Alzheimer) or an insulin resistance exists (overweight, adiposity). The successful candidate will work within an interdisciplinary team of young researchers at a well-known research institution (_www.rwth-aachen.de <http://www.rwth-aachen.de>_). The candidate will design and conduct behavioral as well as functional imaging experiments, collect data, perform statistical data analysis (SPSS, Matlab and SPM), present the results at national and international meetings and publish research manuscripts. Candidates must hold a doctoral degree (PhD) in Psychology, Neuroscience, Biology, Nutrition, or a related field and should either have experience with sensory testing in a behavioral and psychophysiological setting or designing functional imaging experiments and analyzing functional imaging data. Very good English communication and writing skills are expected. The position requires a strong interest in research questions and experimental skills combined with a high level of motivation, team-orientation as well as the ability to solve problems independently. Programming skills in Matlab are considered a plus. Qualified women are explicitly invited to apply and handicapped candidates with equal qualification will be given preference.
