YNiC seminar today (external speaker)
by rem 22 May '14

22 May '14

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. Everyone is welcome to attend the seminar and refreshments will be available after the talk.

Fwd:Researcher/Postdoctoral position: Multimodal Neuroimaging, Twins, Autism and ADHD, Karolinska Institutet
by Gary Green 16 May '14

16 May '14

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.
