Marie Curie PhD studentship available at Plymouth University, United Kingdo= m DEADLINE APPROACHING: 30th November 2013 Be part of a 26-person strong team of PhD students to study the link betwee= n creativity and cognition. CogNovo is an Innovative Doctoral Programme, fu= nded by the EU Marie Curie initiative and Plymouth University, to foster re= search training in the emerging field of Cognitive Innovation. Project 5: Individual differences in cognitive style http://www.cognovo.eu/projects/individual-differences-cognitive-style.php Investigate the relationships between cognitive and perceptual flexibility = in adults and children, and determine the neural correlates of perceptual f= lexibility and creativity. When viewing or listening to ambiguous stimuli (stimuli with more than one = possible interpretation) people experience changes in perceptual awareness = in the absence of the stimulus change. These phenomena have been used to in= vestigate how bottom-up sensory and top-down cognitive processes interact t= o determine perceptual awareness. Individuals vary considerably in their sw= itching patterns, and these patterns can be idiosyncratic. Perceptual switc= hing has been related to cognitive flexibility and the tendency to change o= ne's mind. This raises the interesting question as to whether perceptual sw= itching patterns correspond to other measures of cognitive style, such as c= reativity or tolerance for monotony and at what age these different predisp= ositions can be detected. You will explore the relationships between cognitive and perceptual flexibi= lity and their development through childhood, and investigate the neural co= rrelates of perceptual flexibility and creative thinking. Planned secondments: Institute of Cognitive Neuroscience and Psychology, Hungary (9 months: EEG = experiments on multistability and creativity); Philips Research Labs, Nethe= rlands (2 months: Multisensory experiments); Uni. Of Dundee, UK (1 month: P= erceptual experiments of visual ambiguity). Supervisors: Sue Denham, Marina Wimmer (Plymouth University), Istv=E1n Winkler (Hungaria= n Academy of Sciences), Josephine Ross (University of Dundee), Raymond van = Ee (Philips) For more information about the project contact Prof Sue Denham: S.Denham@xxxxxxxx= ymouth.ac.uk<mailto:S.Denham@xxxxxxxx>.
