Connectionists: Postdoc position in invasive human brain-machine interface project

[Nicho]

*Postdoctoral Position in Invasive Bi-Directional Human Brain-Machine 
Interfaces *

**

A postdoctoral position is available beginning in 2023 to help develop a 
brain-machine interface for dexterous control of a cortically-controlled 
robotic arm and hand. The approach involves creating 1) decoding 
strategies from electrical signals in motor cortex that enable the user 
to not only control the movements of the arm and hand but also the 
forces transmitted through the hand and 2) encoding models to convey 
tactile sensations to the user through intracortical microstimulation of 
somatosensory cortex. Expertise in multi-electrode, behavioral 
electrophysiology is preferred.A strong mathematical, computational, or 
engineering background is also desirable.Applicants should send a CV and 
names and addresses of two or three references to Dr. Nicholas 
Hatsopoulos, Department of Organismal Biology & Anatomy, University of 
Chicago, 1027 East 57^th Street, Chicago, IL 60637 or by e-mail to 
nicho at uchicago.edu.
