<p class="MsoNormal" style="margin:0in;font-size:12pt;font-family:"Calibri",sans-serif"><span>The
research project will employ signal processing techniques and biophysically based
computational models in conjunction with EEG experiments to examine the impact
of sounds played during sleep on brain dynamics.<span></span></span></p>

<p class="MsoNormal" style="margin:0in;font-size:12pt;font-family:"Calibri",sans-serif"><span>Experience
conducting EEG experiments or a willingness to learn how to collect EEG sleep
data is highly desirable. Individuals with prior experience collecting other
forms of electrophysiological data (e.g., single unit or local field
potentials) who would like to transition to collecting EEG data are also
encouraged to apply.<span> </span><span></span></span></p>

<p class="MsoNormal" style="margin:0in;font-size:12pt;font-family:"Calibri",sans-serif"><span>Our
lab investigates neural dynamics during active behavior and during off-line
states, such as sleep, using a combination of computational modeling, signal
processing techniques, and both invasive (ECoG and depth electrode) and non-invasive
(EEG) techniques for recording neural activity. The basic science knowledge
gathered from these investigations is leveraged to understand how memories are
instantiated in the brain, to gain insight into how learning occurs during
brain-machine interface (BMI) tasks, and to develop the framework for
stimulation and pharmacological therapies for diseases, especially those marked
by abnormal neural dynamics during sleep (e.g., post-traumatic sleep disorder
(PTSD) and Parkinson’s disease).<span></span></span></p>
