[vslist] PhD studentship "Interactions between cortical areas"

[Pieter Roelfsema]

A PhD-studentship is available at the Department of Visual System Analysis,
University of Amsterdam. 

Information on the position: 
Cognitive tasks invariably activate many regions of the cerebral cortex.
Different regions are involved in different aspects of a task, but it is
unknown how areas interact with each other. The project aims to
characterize the interactions between cortical areas that are involved in
visual perception (including area V1), and areas involved in the guidance
of eye movements (including area FEF), during tasks that require shifts of
visual attention.

Applicants must have a master's degree in biology, psychology, cognitive
science, physics or medicine.

Application deadline: June 25, 2002.

The candidate will work at the Department of Visual System Analysis (PR
Roelfsema & H Spekreijse) at the University of Amsterdam. Recent
publications of our group include: 
Roelfsema et al. (1998), Nature 395, 376-81; Roelfsema & Spekreijse (2001),
Neuron 31, 853-863.
