Job Summary: The project will investigate the extent to which luminance and chromatic visual pathways function independently or interactively at different stages of the visual processing hierarchy. A series of experiments will explore the roles played by luminance and chromatic signals in low-level, mid-level and high-level vision. The project will be supervised by Dr Jasna Martinovic. The research will be conducted using a 128-electrode Biosemi ActiveTwo electrode montage and two Visage stimulus generators, one set in the EEG lab and the other one in the psychophysics lab.

Experience in perception or cognition research is essential, and expertise in electroencephalographic (EEG) research, visual psychophysics and use of Matlab for stimulus presentation, data collection and signal processing would be an advantage.
