The research will involve extending an existing hierarchical neural network in order to simulate the learning of visual-spatial representations in the dorsal pathway. The model will be used to incrementally learn to control visually guided behaviour in a stereo-vision robot head and will be evaluated by simulating infant behavioural data. This post is funded by EPSRC grant EP/D062225/1 "Exploring Mechanisms of Cognitive and Behavioural Development in Humans and Machines". Applicants should have a proven ability to carry out high quality research, have a genuine interest in the neural mechanisms underlying visual perception and visually guided behaviour and be keen to carry out research in epigenetic/developmental robotics. The successful applicant is expected to have a PhD in a relevant area, have a good knowledge of neural networks and/or computational neuroscience, be proficient in C++ programming and ideally should have experience in robotics and machine vision. The position is available from the 1st September 2006 for a period of 48 months. The starting salary is at SP6 on the RA1A scale, currently £24,612 per annum inclusive of London Allowance.
