YNiC seminar today (external speaker)
by rem 13 Mar '14

13 Mar '14

Dear Users This afternoon (4.15 pm in YNiC open plan) Dr. Carolyn McGettigan from Royal Holloway will be giving a talk on "Feel the noise: Exploring individual variability in the perception of speech and vocalizations". http://www.carolynmcgettigan.com/ Abstract: This talk will present a range of behavioural and neuroimaging studies in which explorations of individual variability in perceptual performance have yielded additional insights into the systems supporting the perception of speech and vocal cues in humans. The presentation will focus on speech recognition and perceptual adaptation processes studied using cochlear implant simulations, and will also include recent work addressing the processing of emotional vocalisations such as laughter. Everyone is welcome to attend the talk and refreshments will be served afterwards. We will be taking Carolyn out for dinner after her talk. Please let me know if you would like to join us for dinner.

Fwd: Postdoc visual attention research project
by Gary Green 12 Mar '14

12 Mar '14

Applications are invited for a postdoctoral researcher in the international NWO/ESRC/DFG-funded ORAplus-cooperation project 'Tracing the template: Investigating the nature, capacity and dynamics of implicit and explicit attentional sets‘ (Profs. C. Olivers, Amsterdam; M. Eimer, London; H.J. Müller, München, S. Pollmann und M. Hanke, Magdeburg). An attentional template is a flexible representation reflecting the system’s current preferences, as derived from continuously changing task demands as well as prior selection history. The project investigates the content, capacity, format and neural representation of attentional templates. To pursue this goal, the project partners will cooperate closely, using diverse methods, including eye-movement recordings, EEG and fMRI. For the fMRI-studies that will be carried out centrally in Magdeburg, we are looking for a postdoc with fMRI-experience. This position offers an excellent opportunity to work with both an international consortium of attention researchers and in one of Germany's leading imaging facilities. Research institutions in Magdeburg, such as the Otto-von- Guericke-University, the Leibniz-Institute for Neurobiology, and the German Center for Neuro-Degenerative Diseases, offer a multitude of research-dedicated MRI-scanners (Siemens Magnetom (7 Tesla), Siemens Trio, Siemens Verio, Siemens Skyra und Philips Achieva). The Institute of Psychology operates its own compute cluster for data analysis. This research project is performed in close collaboration of the project partners, including the opportunity to spend research stages at the participating institutions.
