The job requires working in an interdisciplinary team of researchers on longstanding questions of how brain oscillations orchestrate brain functions, or relate to brain dysfunction. This will involve the development and/or application of new analysis methods to eavesdrop on brain communication and decode some of the information coded in brain oscillations (MEG/EEG). The successful applicant will be part of a larger team of researchers where information decoding (MEG/EEG) is complemented with controlled intervention into brain oscillations by transcranial stimulation to modulate brain function (combined TMS/tACS-EEG).

Dear Colleagues I hope you do not mind this email appreciation but the efforts of some ynic staff are such that I would like to bring them to your attention. I would like to thank Andre Gouws, Paul Elliott, Ross Devlin, in particular, and the ynic team for their contributions to the Royal Academy of Engineering event that was hosted in York yesterday evening. Andre demonstrated the use of a hands-free kinect to virtually navigate throughout the brain (MRIs from ynic) and the ability to link the images to information pages. His stand attracted a considerable amount of attention and interest. The finale of the evening was a remarkable performance by an opera singer accompanying an organ. But the organ was not a standard one, it was a set of pipes whose shapes were generated from MRIs of the vocal tract of the player, Professor David Howard, of the 'human' organ. The remarkable quality of the sounds was due to the efforts Ross Devlin put into fine tuning the MRI data acquisition, the help that the ynic team gave David Howard's team and the very innovative analysis of the MRIs carried out in the Department of Electronics. I even think the Princess Royal enjoyed the novel use of MRI Gary -- --------------- Gary Green York Neuroimaging Centre The Biocentre York Science Park Innovation Way Heslington York YO10 5NY http://www.ynic.york.ac.uk https://www.ynic.york.ac.uk/about-us/people/ggrg tel.

Fwd: Two PhD positions available in Jülich/Düsseldorf
by Gary Green 26 Jun '13

26 Jun '13

*The lab:*The Brain Network Modelling Group is dedicated to the multi-modal analysis of cognitive and affective networks as well as their disturbances by neurological and psychiatric disorders. To this end, we employ functional and structural MRI (with research dedicated 3T, 4T and 9.4T scanners available), meta-analyses of neuroimaging results, database-driven modeling as well as analyses of structural (diffusion-weighted imaging), functional (resting-state analysis) and effective (Dynamic Causal Modeling) connectivity analyses. *Topic 1: Multi-modal analysis of the aging executive system* - To understand the effects of normal aging on the brain and the effects of these changes on behavior, comprehensive imaging and neuropsychological data has been collected from more than 500 participants in an epidemiological cohort. - Using volumetric analysis, resting-state functional connectivity and diffusion imaging the aim of the PhD project is to characterize the differential effects of healthy aging on different sub-regions of the DLPFC and their relationship to the neurophysiological phenotypes, i.e., behavioral measures of executive functions. - All methods are established in the lab, making this position an excellent opportunity to learn various approaches for the analysis of structural and functional neuroimaging data while contributing to the understanding of aging and inter-individual variability of executive functions sustained by the DLPFC. *Topic 2: **Mapping premotor connectivity and function* - The human premotor cortex is implicated in a large number of cognitive processes from hand and eye movements to response selection, attention and working memory. Its internal differentiation and in particular the contribution of its subdivisions to neuropsychological performance, however, are yet not well understood. - The project will combine new methods for multi-modal connectivity-based parcellation, quantitative functional decoding and investigation of inter-individual differences in a large sample of healthy subjects. The aim of this work is to identify and comprehensively characterize different functional modules within the human premotor cortex. - With all necessary data already collected and all methods established in the lab, this position provides an excellent opportunity to learn various innovative approaches for the multi-modal analysis of structural and functional neuroimaging data. *Qualifications:* - MSc or equivalent in psychology, computer science, biology or a related discipline - Experience in fMRI analysis (SPM, FSL) or programming (MATLAB, Python) *Administrative: *Funding is secured for the entire period of the PhD thesis.

Fwd: Postdoc positions in Multimicroelectrode Recordings in Humans
by Gary Green 23 Jun '13

23 Jun '13

Two postdoctoral fellows are sought to work with a multidisciplinary team of researchers, to conduct and analyze intracranial multimicroelectrode recordings in humans. The recording systems are either 'Utah arrays' with 96 separate microelectrodes recording units and local field potentials in a grid at 400u centers, or laminar arrays sampling LFP at 150u spacing to derive current source density and multiunit activityfrom layer 1 through layer 6. Both electrodes are combined with distributed subdural strips and/or depth electrodes, placed in epileptic patients for localization of seizure onset. Areas of primary interest are sleep rhythms, memory consolidation, multisensory processing and language, but a broad range of cognitive, sensory and motor phenomena are explored. One position is at the University of California, San Diego and is more concerned with multivariate statistical analysis of several datasets; the other position is at New York University and is more concerned with overseeing the actual recordings and analysis. For inquiries and applications, please contact: Eric Halgren, Ph.D. ehalgren(a)ucsd.edu <mailto:ehalgren@ucsd.edu> and Thomas Thesen, Ph.D. thomas.thesen(a)med.nyu.edu <mailto:thomas.thesen@med.nyu.edu>
