Fwd: Postdoc positions in Multimicroelectrode Recordings in Humans

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.
