[visionlist] PhD Studentship: High-level vision. Bangor University. UK.

[Charles Leek]

PhD Funding Opportunity (Dr. Charles Leek, Bangor)

Applications are sought for a three-year fully funded (tuition fees +  
stipend) PhD studentship in the laboratory of Dr. Charles Leek, Centre  
for Clinical and Cognitive Neuroscience, Bangor University.

Our work focuses on high-level vision, and considers how the visual  
system represents and recognizes the shapes of three-dimensional (3-D)  
objects. We use a variety of techniques including perceptual  
psychophysics, (e.g., object-based IOR), brain imaging (fMRI), eye  
tracking, ERPs, TMS and single-case patient studies.

This PhD studentship will involve the development a series of  
ground-breaking studies examining the nature of 3-D shape  
representation combining eye tracking and stimulus presentation using  
stereographic (3-D) displays, and may also encompass some studies using  
fMRI. Some familiarity with these methodologies is beneficial, but not  
essential as training will be provided as required.
