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.
