Subject: Post-Doc Position to study cortical responses to cochlear implant From: John Middlebrooks <JMidd(at)KHRI1.KHRI.MED.UMICH.EDU> Date: Wed, 31 Jan 2001 08:47:26 -0500Post-Doctoral Position: Auditory cortex responses to cochlear-implant stimulation An NIH-funded post-doctoral position is available at the Kresge Hearing Research Institute at the University of Michigan to work in the laboratory of Dr. John Middlebrooks. The research would involve quantitative evaluation of the responses of auditory cortical neurons to stimulation of a cochlear implant. Multi-channel recording probes are used to record unit activity simultaneously from 16 sites in the auditory cortex of the anesthetized guinea pig. The project could involve correlated psychophysical studies in guinea-pig and/or human subjects under the direction of Dr. Bryan Pfingst. Applicants should have experience in auditory neuroscience and familiarity with computer-controlled stimulus presentation and data acquisition.
