The research aims to provide a new understanding of attention during real-life tasks, and within the autonomous car, using a combination of EEG, behavioural and eye tracking measures of attention, working memory and perception. The post holder will be responsible for the design and running of behavioural, neuroimaging and other cognitive neuroscience experiments with humans, both in the laboratory and within the car, as well as for recording, analysing and writing up the results
Requirements:
Applicants should hold or expect to shortly hold a PhD with a record of success in research (as evidence in publications) in cognitive neuroscience (perferably including neuroimaging using the methods of EEG or MEG). Applicants are expected to have excellent quantitative and programming skills in Matlab, Python or equivalent as well as a strong written and verbal communication skills. Experience with advanced methods of signal processing, image processing, and computational modelling would be highly desirable
