Graduate Student Positions in Auditory
Neuroscience, Human Interaction & Music McMaster University Two graduate student positions are available to work with Dr. Laurel Trainor who directs both the Auditory Development Lab (https://trainorlab.mcmaster.ca) and the LIVELab (https://LIVELab.mcmaster.ca) at McMaster University. We do both theoretical and applied research aimed at understanding how we perceive and produce music, and why music is important. Projects include understanding human interaction in musical ensembles using behaviour, motion capture and EEG measures; studying brain oscillations involved in predictive timing and predictive coding; musical development in infants and children; and applications using non-verbal measures to understand auditory perception and communicative processes in nonverbal populations. The research
group is multidisciplinary with ties to Engineering, Health Science and
Music. In addition to infant and adult
behavioural and EEG labs, students will have access to the internationally
acclaimed LIVELab, a research-concert hall capable of simulating almost any
acoustical environment and equipped with multiperson EEG, physiology, motion
capture and more (https://LIVELab.mcmaster.ca). Applicants
should have a Bachelor’s degree in Psychology, Neuroscience, Cognitive Science,
Engineering, Computer Science or other affiliated discipline. General
information on the graduate program can be found here: https://science.mcmaster.ca/pnb/graduate-studies.
Initial inquires can be directed to Dr. Trainor at LJT@xxxxxxxxxxx. Please include a CV and
unofficial transcript with your inquiry. _______________________________________________ Laurel Trainor, Ph.D., FRSC Director, McMaster Institute for Music and the Mind Professor, Psychology, Neuroscience & Behaviour McMaster University 1280 Main Street West, Hamilton, ON, Canada L8S 4K1 office: 905-525-9140 x23007 fax: 905-529-6225 |
