our research is to characterise the spatiotemporal dynamics and the
computational principles of the brain networks underlying the processing of
multisensory information, the formation of perceptual decisions and the
execution of subsequent actions. To this end, we use multimodal recordings
including neuroimaging (EEG), motor signals (EMGs and kinematics) and
behavioural data coupled with advanced multivariate analysis methods and
computational modelling. We develop computational methodologies inspired by
machine learning, statistical signal processing, information theory and
Bayesian modelling to fuse data from different modalities, extract the main
patterns of brain activity and characterise their functional roles with respect
to the task at hand.</span></p>

of this project will be to unravel the neural representations of the mental
processes implicated in the processing of (multi-)sensory information and the
formation of perceptual decisions. Candidates must have previous practical
experience in EEG recordings and data analysis as evident by a strong track
record of publications in international journals. Working knowledge of multivariate
data analysis techniques and excellent programming skills in Matlab and/or
Python are highly desirable. </span></p>
