This position is financed by the ERC Advanced Grant =93ARTSOUNDSCAPES: the = sound of special places: exploring rock art soundscapes and the sacred=94 (= https://www.ub.edu/artsoundscapes/). The project aims at investigating the = acoustics of special places (rock art sites), and how these acoustics may h= ave determined their choice in early hunter-gatherers and agricultural soci= eties by their particular echoes and reverberations. Specifically, we aim to test whether these acoustics, when = convoluted with ritual songs, music and other sounds (e.g., nature generate= d) may induce particular emotional and mental states (e.g., such as trance,= altered states of consciousness, meditation-like) and the associated patterns of brain activity as revealed by oscillatory and co= nnectivity analysis of the EEG. Candidates must hold a Master=92s degree (or equivalent) in cognitive or co= mputational neuroscience, psychology, cognitive sciences, biomedicine, engi= neering or related field. Requirements: 1] 300 ECTS completed (at least 60 ECTS in a Master degree), = 2] Strong motivation for science and experience with EEG experimental designs and data analysis, 3] computer skills (e.g., Matlab, P= ython, Praat) Applicants please send 1) Letter of motivation, 2) CV, and 3) One or two ac= ademic letters of reference by email to Dr. Carles Escera at cescera@xxxxxxxx= [IMPORTANT: state subject: PhD EMO] Starting date: FEB/MARCH 2020 [deadline for applications: January 31th, 202= 0] -- Jose Valenzuela, Ph.
