POST-DOCTORAL POSITION IN VISUAL COMPUTATIONS FOR MOTOR CONTROL
PI: David Knill
Center for Visual Science
University of Rochester
**************************************************************
A post-doctoral position is available immediately in the perception
and action lab of David Knill at the University of Rochester. The lab
focuses on visual perception and the visual control of goal-directed
movements (e.g., reaching and grasping). The current position is for
an NEI funded project studying the visual computations underlying
goal directed movements (reaching and grasping). The project looks at
a number of aspects of visuo-motor control including the use of
visual feedback to guide hand transport, hand orientation and hand
shaping for grasp, how the visuo-motor system integrates multiple 3D
visual cues for controlling hand movements, visuo-motor learning,
particularly of cue weights, and dissociations between perceptual
and motor strategies for using 3-dimensional information in images.
We use a combination of psychophysical and computational methods and
have a well-equipped lab containing a 3D virtual display system, an
optical motion tracking system, a robot arm and an eye tracker.
Members of the lab also have access to an NIH funded resource
laboratory for the study of visuo-motor coordination that has
head-mounted virtual displays, head-mounted eye-trackers, a 3D
virtual force feedback device and a driving simulator. The human and
perception lab is part of the Center for Visual Science
(http://www.cvs.rochester.edu), a lively and active group of
neuroscientists, psychologists and computer scientists devoted to
studying vision.
Interested applicants should send CV, a short statement of interests
and the names of three references to David Knill at
knill@cvs.rochester.edu.
