Research Fellow in Cognitive Neuroimaging of Perception

About the role

A major focus of the Visual Perception team in the coming years will be the role of the hippocampus in supplying predictions to guide visual perception. We plan to investigate the computations taking place in the different hippocampal subfields and the role of hippocampal theta in coordinating predicting and perceiving.

We are now recruiting a Research Fellow to undertake high quality research using cutting-edge human neuroimaging, for example, subfield-specific hippocampal and layer-specific cortical responses (using 7T fMRI) and time-resolved decoding of the neural dynamics underlying visual predictions (using MEG and intracranial recordings). For some analyses deep neural networks (DNNs) will be used to probe the representational contents of neural signals.

Key responsibilities will be to design experiments, recruit and assess study participants, coordinate study logistics, and to collect and analyse behavioural and neuroima...
