Connectionists: Postdoc Position in Neural Dynamics of Sleep and Neuromodulation

[Sujith Vijayan]

The Neural Dynamics and Neural Engineering Lab
<https://www.vijayan.neuroscience.vt.edu/> at Virginia Tech has an opening
for a postdoctoral position. This position is being funded by the Army
Research Office (ARO).



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.



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.



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).
