The Natural Intelligence Lab, headed by Zhaoping Li at the University of
Tübingen and Max Planck Institute for Biological Cybernetics, has
positions available for highly motivated PhD students and postdocs
interested in visual psychophysics and fMRI.
The lab is interested in all areas of vision science, with a particular
focus on exploring a new framework for the visual system, whereby (1) V1
is responsible for the initial saliency computations to select a part of
the visual input for further processing, (2) V1 relays that saliency
information directly to motor structures for generating short-latency
orienting movements to place the selected visual object in the central
visual field, and (3) stimuli in central and peripheral visual fields
undergo differential processing by V1 and higher visual areas. We use a
variety of experimental and theoretical techniques including human
psychophysics and eye tracking, fMRI, TMS, ERP, and computational
modeling. Current and planned projects involve visual search, gaze
behavior, object recognition and visual illusions, among others. See
_https://www.kyb.tuebingen.mpg.de/sensory-and-sensorimotor-systems_for
more information.
Applicants should be skilled with visual psychophysics, fMRI and/or
computational modeling. It is not necessary to have skills in both
experiments and modeling although having both is a plus. Please send
your CV and statement of research, or informal enquiries,to
