A brief glance at a natural scene is often sufficient for understanding the gist of the scene and to detect multiple task-relevant objects as well. This ERC-funded project examines the neural basis of factors that make naturalistic vision so effortless, including statistical learning, object grouping, context-based predictions, and top-down attentional guidance.
As a researcher, you will be expected to take the lead in developing and performing neuroimaging experiments (fMRI, EEG, MEG, or TMS) addressing one of these factors, measuring and analyzing responses in high-level visual cortex during naturalistic visual perception.
Fixed-term contract: 2 years.
The Donders Institute for Brain, Cognition and Behaviour is a world-class interfaculty research centre, which houses more than 600 researchers devoted to understanding the mechanistic underpinnings of the human mind. Research at the Donders Institute is focused around four themes:
1. Language and communication
2. Perception, action and control
3. Plasticity and memory
4. Brain networks and neuronal communication.
Excellent, state-of-the-art research facilities are available for the broad range of neuroscience research conducted at the Donders Institute. Recently, the Donders Institute was assessed by an international evaluation committee as excellent and recognised as a very stimulating environment for top researchers, as well as for young talents. The Donders Institute fosters a collaborative, multidisciplinary, supportive research environment with a diverse international staff. English is the lingua franca at the Institute.
The Peelen lab is a collaborative and interdisciplinary lab that uses fMRI, EEG, MEG, TMS, computational modelling, and behavioural methods to study high-level visual perception and attention.
