Open Plan during Spring Term
by Mark Hymers 09 Jan '15

09 Jan '15

Hi all, During the remainder of Spring term, YNiC Open Plan will be in use for teaching at various times. 0900-1300 Tuesdays (starting from 13th January) 1100-1600 Thursdays (starting from 15th January) (except Week 6 which is a reading week) In general, we expect there to be some spare capacity within Open Plan during these sessions but priority will be given to students attending classes. All machines will be logged out at the start of sessions if people have left themselves logged in. If you are in open plan during these sessions, we would ask that you use the computers at the back of the room (furthest from the teaching area). Please let me know if you have any questions. Thanks, Mark

Fwd: Postdoc Fellow Position Available
by Gary Green 30 Dec '14

30 Dec '14

Post-doctoral Fellow Position A post-doctoral fellowship is available in the laboratory of Dorina Papageorgiou, Ph.D., MHSc at Baylor College of Medicine to study cortical plasticity and repair in patient populations, as a result of neurological injury and/or disease. We use real-time fMRI neurofeedback methods to study cortical visual system rehabilitation and speech rehabilitation in patients with neurological injury, such as stroke, traumatic brain injury, or cancer. We have relied heavily on highly quantitative methods, such as population receptive field, fMRI multivariate and univariate analyses, and have utilized a variety of innovative approaches to address our questions, including support vector machine analyses. Additionally, we have gained insights from highly individualized cortical and subcortical neuro-rehabilitative approaches. The work promises to be challenging, but also presents an exciting opportunity to gain an understanding of the neurofeedback methods involved in various patient populations depending on the domain of brain function lesioned, such as in visual, speech, attention, and pain-associated networks. Trainees will benefit from the Center for Advanced MR Imaging at Baylor College of Medicine, which includes a state-of-the art imaging facility with four research-dedicated 3 Tesla MR scanners. (1 Siemens Allegra (head-only) and 3 Siemens Trio), a high speed private network, a database with web-based access, independent computing facilities, real-time fMRI capabilities. Minimum Job Experience: PhDs with a background in any of the following disciplines: Neuroscience, Biomedical Engineering, Engineering, Bioinformatics, Computer Science, or (Bio-)Physics with expertise in scientific programming: C/C++, Matlab/Python programming and Unix environment. The applicant should be highly motivated with a flexible work schedule.
