Dear colleagues, Please share with prospective Ph.D. students you know! We are considering applicants for Ph.D. study in Psychological & Brain Sciences or Neuroscience at University of Nevada, Las Vegas in the Auditory Cognitive Development Lab/Auditory Cognitive Neuroscience Lab. We are particularly eager to find graduate students interested in working on a funded, multi-lab project examining links between musicality and misophonia in childhood and adulthood, using behavioral and physiological measures (EEG and facial EMG). However, we are also actively researching musical groove, auditory scene perception, reproducibility in neuroscience, and several other topics, and are open to new avenues for research. Across both labs we have facilities supporting adult and child behavioral paradigms (perceptual judgment, sensory-motor synchronization), infant perception (looking time procedures), adult and child electrophysiology (high-density EEG recordings), and transcranial magnetic and electrical brain stimulation and TMS-compatible EEG. A new federally funded research MRI facility will be opening in 2024 as well. We address questions about music perception (especially rhythm and beat processing), music acquisition and enculturation during child development, comparisons between music and language, auditory memory, and auditory scene analysis. Interested potential applicants with appropriate qualifications (bachelor’s or master’s degree in Psychology, Cognitive Science, Neuroscience, Computer Science, or other related disciplines) are encouraged to visit the ACDL and ACNL web sites for further information about our research, or email the lab directors (erin.hannon@xxxxxxxx), joel.snyder@xxxxxxxx) with any questions, and apply directly to the UNLV graduate school.
