Thi= s position would suit a recent BSc or MSc graduate with experience of runni= ng EEG experiments. Many thanks, Ed We are seeking a research assistant to join an exciting one-year research p= roject examining how our brains use top-down mechanisms to predict upcoming= words in speech (=91predictive coding=92). The project will use electroenc= ephalography (EEG) recordings of brain activity from healthy volunteers. The project is funded by a BIAL Foundation grant awarded to Dr Ediz Sohoglu= . The post-holder will join the Auditory Cognition Group, which conducts re= search into the psychology and neuroscience of how we listen, with a partic= ular focus on speech perception. The project will take place at the University of Sussex, using the on-campu= s EEG facilities within the School of Psychology. The post-holder will join= the highly collaborative and interdisciplinary Sussex Neuroscience researc= h community, which includes over 50 research groups, forming one of the hig= hest densities of Neuroscience faculty in any UK University. The post-holder will support Dr Sohoglu in the day-to-day running of the pr= oject, including participant recruitment, data collection and management, a= nd analysis. The post is likely to be of most interest to applicants with research inter= ests in perception and language, studied using methods from cognitive neuro= science (e.g. EEG or other neuroimaging method). The post-holder should hav= e experience in the acquisition of EEG data. Experience of EEG data analysi= s is desirable. Please contact Dr Ediz Sohoglu (e.sohoglu@xxxxxxxx<mailto:e.sohoglu@xxxxxxxx= sex.ac.uk>) for informal enquiries.
