Ph.D. Studies in Perception and Cognitive Neuroscience

[Joel Snyder <Joel.Snyder@xxxxxxxx>]

Dear Auditory List members,

Please alert any prospective Ph.D. students you know to the following
opportunity for studies in auditory and visual perception:

Applicants are invited to apply for graduate Ph.D. assistantships in
Experimental Psychology at the University of Nevada, Las Vegas to study
mechanisms of human perception using psychophysical and cognitive
neuroscience techniques. We have facilities supporting adult
psychophysics (perceptual judgment, sensory-motor synchronization), adult
electrophysiology (high-density EEG recordings), and infant psychophysics
(looking time procedures). Opportunities also exist for functional and
structural brain measurements (magnetic resonance imaging) through a
collaboration with the Nevada Cancer Institute

http://www.nevadacancerinstitute.org/science.aspx?id=374. 

Particular areas of research we are pursuing include perceptual grouping,
bistable perception, auditory plasticity, music perception, perceptual
and motor timing, and perceptual dysfunction in schizophrenia. For
further information about our research, please see

The Experimental Psychology Ph.D. Program application deadline is January
15. Please visit the program web site at

http://psychology.unlv.edu/html/experimental_program.html for
information on applying. If you have any general questions about
application procedures, please contact Angeline Marcotte in the
Department of Psychology at (702) 895-0176 or via e-mail
(psyunlv@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxx). 

Sincerely,
