Research position in Computational Functional MRI at Brain and Vision
Research Laboratory, Boston University
This is a newly-funded full-time research appointment
aimed at quantitatively and qualitatively characterize the statistical
and temporal characteristics of brain activations during restorative
plasticity in the human brain after stroke.
The postholder will jointly engage in the following aspects of the
Lab's work:
* establish functional imaging on a research MRI scanner,
including
the stimulus development, presentation system, software and
interfacing.
* work with clinicians to define, establish and run suitable
test paradigms on healthy volunteers and patients
* image-processing, analysis, visualisation of clinical data
obtained in fMRI studies
* work with MT physicists, psychophysicists and clinicians to explore
the uses of near-real-time analysis techniques in fMRI studies, and to
develop software that tracks the dynamics and changes of activatios
over time.
The postholders should be able to undertake original research in
one or more of the following areas of fMRI:
statistical models of physical and physiological noise; data
modelling; parallel statistical and image-processing algorithms;
visualisation techniques, application of various techniques to quantify
changes in fMRI images.
Candidates should hold a higher degree in computer csience, engineering
or physics and should be familiar with PC and Unix computing.
Expertise in statistical and cognitive modelling, MRI, image
analysis, and visualisation are highly desirable.
Further particulars should be obtained from
