[this posting concerns decoding from neuroimaging data, so I hope it is appropriate for the list]
The CLIC laboratory of the Center for Mind/Brain Sciences (CIMeC) of the University of Trento announces the availability of: * Post-doc position in computational neuroscience of language * * Research environment * The Language, Interaction and Computation lab (clic.cimec.unitn.it) is a unit of the University of Trento's Center for Mind/Brain Sciences (www.cimec.unitn.it) or CIMEC: an interdisciplinary center for the research in brain and cognition including neuroscientists, psychologists, (computational) linguists, computational neuroscientists, and physicists. CLIC consists of researchers from the Departments of Computer Science and Cognitive Science carrying out research on a range of topics, including concept acquisition and information extraction from very large multimodal corpora, combining brain data and data from corpora to study cognition, and methods of theoretical linguistics. * Post-doc position in computational neuroscience of language * A 2-year post-doctoral position in the computational neuroscience of language with a focus on the organization of conceptual knowledge in the brain will soon become available at CIMeC/CLIC. The successful candidate will work as part of a larger project whose objective is to combine empirical data of different types (corpus co-occurrence patterns, elicitation experiments, neuroimaging data) to arrive at a better understanding of the organization of conceptual knowledge in the mind and brain. Your task will be to continue on-going work which uses machine learning methods to extract conceptual representations from recordings of neural activity (EEG, MEG and fMRI). The candidate should have strong technical knowledge of either computational linguistics or brain-decoding methods, and familiarity with theories of the lexicon. Programming skills are a must, and experience with neuroimaging techniques, experimental design (elicitation/behavioural) and signal processing would be a plus. * How to apply * For additional information please send an expression of interest (with CV) to Brian Murphy (brian.mur...@unitn.it) _______________________________________________ Pkg-ExpPsy-PyMVPA mailing list Pkg-ExpPsy-PyMVPA@lists.alioth.debian.org http://lists.alioth.debian.org/mailman/listinfo/pkg-exppsy-pymvpa
