York Festival of Ideas
by Gary Green 19 Jun '14

19 Jun '14

19th of June 7pm Berrick Saul Building The Business-Like Brain Ed Bullmore, University of Cambridge Like a business, the brain network is designed to minimise cost and add value. Highly connected hub nodes of the network are biologically expensive but arguably worth it because they facilitate higher order mental functions. Join Neuroscientist, Ed Bullmore, as he discusses how these high-cost/high-value hubs may also be points of special vulnerability for many brain disorders such as Alzheimer’s disease and schizophrenia. Please note that although admission is free, a ticket is required http://yorkfestivalofideas.com/2014/talks/business-like-brain/

Unfortunately we did not specifically ask for a pot for PhD student travel costs. However, I’d like to propose that we fund our eight students this year to go to Biomag, if they are planning to go. It would be great to have as many of us there as possible. We are going to underspend our funding allocation for the first year anyway, so we can cover a reasonable spend per student. Any objections? Should we assign fixed amount per student (my preference)? If so, how much?

Fwd:MEG Post-Doc Position
by Gary Green 17 Jun '14

17 Jun '14

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). Of special interest are MEG paradigms which apply a psycholinguistic approach to parsing receptive language and language production mechanisms, within a developmentally-appropriate and child-friendly context. The resulting paradigms will therefore inform both theoretical and clinical understanding of language development and of impairment. An availability to start the project for 1 September 2014 (exact date is negotiable) would be desirable. The EU-funded LanPercept network offers a unique interdisciplinary approach to the study of the relationship between language and perception with a focus on bridging the translational gap between basic and applied research. LanPercept is composed of 10 European partners, hosting a total of 11 PhD projects and 4 research fellows. Please visit our website http://www.aston.ac.uk/jobs for further information and to apply online. Initial enquiries should be directed to Prof. Joel Talcott [j.b.talcott(a)aston.ac.uk] or Dr. Caroline Witton [c.witton(a)astohn.ac.uk].

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. Once you have submitted your application, you should receive an email to confirm receipt of your online application. Please forward this email, along with your covering letter and CV (as pdf), to Dr. Etienne B. Roesch, e.b.roesch(a)reading.ac.uk, by the application deadline. Application Deadline: Monday 14th July 2014 (interviews in August) Further Enquiries: Please contact Dr. Etienne B. Roesch, e.b.roesch(a)reading.ac.uk. ––– Dr. Etienne B.
