The team with Radoslaw Cichy will focus on the methodological and theoretical aspects of human developmental neuroscience whereas we will focus on the modelling aspect mainly using Deep Learning. Constant and deep interactions between the teams in Frankfurt and Berlin are integral to the project and are strongly supported by the PIs.</span></p><p dir="ltr" style="line-height: 1.38; background-color: rgb(255, 255, 255); margin-top: 0pt; margin-bottom: 0pt;"><span style="font-family: Arial, sans-serif; color: rgb(34, 34, 34); font-variant-ligatures: normal; font-variant-alternates: normal; font-variant-numeric: normal; font-variant-east-asian: normal; font-variant-position: normal; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap; font-size: 14px;"> </span></p><p dir="ltr" style="line-height: 1.38; background-color: rgb(255, 255, 255); margin-top: 0pt; margin-bottom: 0pt;"><span style="font-family: Arial, sans-serif; color: rgb(34, 34, 34); font-variant-ligatures: normal; font-variant-alternates: normal; font-variant-numeric: normal; font-variant-east-asian: normal; font-variant-position: normal; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap; font-size: 14px;">This is a great opportunity for candidates that are interested in bridging developmental visual neuroscience with deep learning to enhance models’ capabilities and understand human visual development. Candidates should ideally have prior experience with developing, training and testing multimodal deep neural networks, very strong programming skills (python, pytorch and relevant frameworks), and prior experience or a strong interest in cognitive neuroscience.
