Connectionists: Fully funded PhD positions in the project: "In search of the sources of brain's cognitive activity"

[Włodzisław Duch]

Our Neurocognitive Laboratory at the Center for Modern Interdisciplinary
Technologies, Nicolaus Copernicus University, Torun, Poland, is looking for
PhD students to work on the project: "In search of the sources of brain's
cognitive activity".   

 

Consortium running this project is composed of 4 institutions: 

Neurocognitive Lab and Department of Informatics, Nicolaus Copernicus
University, Toruń, Poland (supervisors: prof. A. Cichocki, prof. W. Duch),
Nencki Institute of Experimental Biology, Polish Academy of Science, Warsaw
(dr hab. E. Kublik), and Bioimaging Research Center, Institute of Physiology
and Pathology of Hearing, Warsaw (dr T. Wolak). 

 

STARTING DATE: October 2016 or later, support for 3-5 years.  

 

RESEARCH TOPIC:

To understand how brain executes cognitive functions we need to find an
optimal method of identification of brain structures responsible for
generation of the EEG waves recorded on the scalp. We want to identify the
unique spatio-temporal maps of electrical activation specific for the
activated structures/subnetworks, so-called EEG-fingerprint specific for
each structure. The project is focused on novel methods of EEG and fMRI
signal analysis that will be verified using real time fMRI/EEG neurofeedback
and behavioral experiments. 

 

PROFILE of PhD candidates:

MSc in computer science, signal processing, machine learning, applied
mathematics, theoretical physics or related fields.

Programming experience in Python, Matlab, or C/C++.

Experience with deep learning algorithms, analysis of neuroimaging data, is
not required but would be an asset.

 

TO APPLY: send your CV, a motivation letter, a list of publications, and one
or more recommendation letters to dr Tomasz Piotrowski,
tpiotrowski at is.umk.pl 

as soon as possible but not later than September 15, 2016
