collaborative project on neuro-behavioral aging. The project consortium is
composed of the Theoretical Neuroscience Group (V. Jirsa), the Behavior Group
(J.J. Temprado), as well as other experts in biomechanics and motor control at
the Institute of Movement Sciences. The postdocs will work under supervision of Viktor Jirsa and JJ Temprado, together with other members of the team (PhD

aging. The first aim is to build a large-scale brain network model using The
Virtual Brain neuroinformatics platform (<a href="http://www.thevirtualbrain.org">http://www.thevirtualbrain.org</a>). The
second aim is to analyze EEG data of young and older adults and validate the
