Dear Dr. Chan,

POSTDOCTORAL POSITION - NEUROPHYSIOLOGY OF VISUAL MEMORY
I am looking for a person interested in combining behavioural and
electrophysiological techniques to probe brain mechanisms of learning and
memory in the primate visual system (temporal and prefrontal cortices). Of
particular interest are the local circuit mechanisms that contribute to
neuronal response properties. Monkeys will be trained to perform memory
tasks and recordings of single neurons will be made.
A large scale multichannel recording system based on a Sun UltraSPARC
workstation is being used. The system enables the acquisition of data on
48 electrodes which are moveable but implanted in the brain for periods of
several months. Useful experience, familiarity etc:
- primate behaviour and eye movement monitoring
- basic neurophysiological techniques, electronics, programming under UNIX
and DOS/Windows
