[Fiona Fylan]

PhD Studentship in Visual Perception

This three-year project, funded by the BBSRC, will employ a unique=20
combination of functional-imaging and computational techniques in order to=
=20
further our understanding of the mechanisms by which the human brain=20
processes visual information. In the early stages of the project brain=20
responses elicited by viewing different images of the natural environment=20
will be analysed with the aim of investigating the changes produced when=20
image characteristics are manipulated. During later stages there is=20
potential to investigate clinical applications of the research results. The=
=20
successful applicant will learn techniques for measuring and manipulating=20
the statistics of natural imagery, and will also gain competence in=20
performing visual evoked response recordings. The studentship is based at=20
the University of York in the Department of Health Sciences.

Applications are invited from those who hold a good relevant degree, for=20
example in psychology, neurosciences, computing, mathematics, or physics.=20
UK students will receive a tax-free stipend of =A38,500, rising to =A310,000=
,=20
and will also have their tuition fees paid. Please contact Fiona Fylan=20
(ff3@york.ac.uk) as soon as possible. The closing date is 28/2/02.
