Hi Rachel, You might find Webmorph.org<http://Webmorph.org> useful (it’s a web-based version of Psychomorph). It has a lot of extra batch functions that are easier to use than Psychmorph. Send me your email and I’ll sign you up for a beta testing account. I’d also be keen to add a function to webmorph to import FantaMorph templates. If you have any examples of template files you could send me, I can have a bash at writing a conversion script.

PhD and postdoctoral positions - Investigating sensory aspects of human communication
by Katharina von Kriegstein 16 Jan '18

16 Jan '18

Several researcher positions (Postdocs and PhD students) are available at the Human Communication Research Group, led by Katharina von Kriegstein. The group is currently based at the Max Planck Institute for Human Cognitive and Brain Sciences in Leipzig (MPI CBS; http://www.cbs.mpg.de/independent-research-groups/human-communication ) and will transfer to the Psychology Faculty of the TU Dresden in 2018. The positions are funded by the ERC consolidator grant SENSOCOM. The aim of the SENSOCOM project is to investigate the role of auditory and visual subcortical sensory structures in analysing human communication signals and to specify how their dysfunction contributes to human communication disorders such as developmental dyslexia and autism spectrum disorders. For examples of our work on these topics see von Kriegstein et al., 2008 Current Biology, Diaz et al., 2012 PNAS; Müller-Axt et al., 2017 Current Biology. The projects include experiments using cognitive neuroscience methods to understand the basic mechanisms of cortico-subcortical interactions as well as development of training programmes that are aimed at creating behavioural intervention programmes for communication deficits (for a brief description see http://cordis.europa.eu/project/rcn/199655_en.html ). The positions will be based at the TU Dresden. Research will be performed at the Neuroimaging Centre at the TU Dresden ( http://www.nic-tud.de ) and MPI CBS in Leipzig. The centres offer cutting-edge infrastructure with 3-Tesla MRI, 7-Tesla MRI, a Connectom scanner, MRI compatible eye-tracking, several EEG systems, 306-channel MEG, neurostimulation units including neuronavigaton, TMS and tDCS devices. Besides an excellent infrastructure, the centres offer an international and friendly environment with researchers from diverse backgrounds. All experimental facilities are supported by experienced physics and IT staff. For analyses with high computational demands, there is access to high-performance computing clusters. Candidates should have a strong interest in perceptual aspects of human communication and experience with experimental methods of cognitive neuroscience, such as psychophysics, functional or structural MRI, TMS, diffusion-weighted imaging, brainstem recordings or EEG/MEG. Experience with clinical populations (e.g. developmental dyslexia) would be an asset but is not essential. PhD student candidates must have a Master’s degree (or equivalent) in neuroscience, clinical linguistics, psychology, cognitive science, biology, or a related field. Postdoc candidates must have a PhD in similar fields and should be able to demonstrate a consistently outstanding academic record, including publications. The position starting date is flexible. Initially for two (postdocs) or three (PhD) years, the positions offer the possibility of an extension. Remuneration depends on experience and is based on regulations of the Max Planck Society payscale. MPI CBS is an equal opportunities employer, committed to the advancement of individuals without regard to ethnicity, religion, gender, or disability. PhD students will have the opportunity to participate in the TU Dresden graduate academy (https://tu-dresden.de/ga?set_language=en) TU Dresden is one of eleven German Universities of Excellence and offers an interdisciplinary scientific environment. To apply, please submit a CV, contact information of two references, a brief personal statement describing your qualifications and future research interests, copies of up to two of your publications. Please submit your application via our online system at http://www.cbs.mpg.de/vacancies (using subject heading “ERC 01/18”). The deadline for application submission is 15st February 2018.

Postdoctoral Fellowships in Model-based Cognitive Neuroscience at Vanderbilt
by Palmeri, Thomas J 09 Jan '18

09 Jan '18

Postdoctoral Fellowships in Model-based Cognitive Neuroscience at Vanderbilt Department of Psychology Vanderbilt Vision Research Center We eagerly seek postdoctoral fellows to join research projects in model-based cognitive neuroscience, developing and testing computational models of visual cognition that connect behavior and brain data. Fellows will join an ongoing collaboration of Thomas Palmeri, Jeffrey Schall, and Gordon Logan at Vanderbilt using cognitive and neural models to understand perceptual decision making, cognitive control, and visual attention. Successful models predict details of observed behavior and are constrained by or predict neurophysiological, electrophysiological, and brain imaging data in human and non-human primates. Fellows also have opportunities to join a collaboration of Thomas Palmeri, Isabel Gauthier, and their colleagues using combinations of cognitive, psychometric, and deep learning models to understand object recognition, categorization, visual learning, and perceptual expertise and to explain individual differences in behavior and brain data. Research facilities include high-end laboratory workstations, behavioral testing stations, a web-based server infrastructure for online experiments, eye trackers, a shared 7000+ core CPU cluster and large-scale GPU cluster at Vanderbilt’s ACCRE, and state-of-the art facilities for neurophysiology, electrophysiology, and brain imaging. Postdoctoral fellows will also take advantage of the facilities and support provided by the Department of Psychology (www.vanderbilt.edu/psychological_sciences/<http://www.vanderbilt.edu/psychological_sciences/>) and the Vanderbilt Vision Research Center (vvrc.vanderbilt.edu<http://vvrc.vanderbilt.edu>). And as Dave Grohl of the Foo Fighters said, “Everybody now thinks that Nashville is ... the coolest city in America”. Candidates can hold a Ph.D. in psychology, neuroscience, computer science, mathematics, engineering, or related disciplines. Candidates should have demonstrated skills in computer programming and statistical analyses. Some background and/or strong interest in computational modeling is desired. For those with significant modeling expertise, a knowledge of basic neuroscience is desired but not required. Start date is negotiable, but preference will be given to candidates who can begin soon. Applications will be reviewed on a rolling basis as they arrive. Salary will be based on the NIH postdoctoral scale. Please forward to potential applicants. Applicants should send a cover letter with a brief research statement, a CV, and names and email addresses of three references to: Thomas Palmeri Department of Psychology Vanderbilt Vision Research Center Vanderbilt University Nashville, TN 37240 thomas.j.palmeri(a)vanderbilt.edu<mailto:thomas.j.palmeri@vanderbilt.edu> catlab.psy.vanderbilt.edu<http://catlab.psy.vanderbilt.edu> *apologies for cross-posting* --------------------------- Thomas Palmeri Professor of Psychology co-Director of Scientific Computing Department of Psychology 507 Wilson Hall Vanderbilt University 111 21st Avenue South Nashville, Tennessee 37240 thomas.j.palmeri(a)vanderbilt.edu<mailto:thomas.j.palmeri@vanderbilt.edu> http://catlab.psy.vanderbilt.edu
