Postdoctoral/Research Fellow position in brain signal processing: Visual information flows

A postdoc or research fellow position is available to join the Complex Networks and Brain Dynamics group for the project: “Timing of the spatial scene processing in the dorsal and ventral visual stream of the human brain“ funded by the Czech Science Foundation.

[ Other job opprtunities ]

The project involves developing, optimizing and applying techniques for analysis of brain activity time series data (intracortical/scalp electrophysiology) o provide insight into dynamics of information flow during visual processing of spatial scenes in human.

The project is carried out in collaboration with the Institute of Physiology of the Czech Academy of Sciences and the 2nd Medical Faculty of the Charles University.
