Subject: [AUDITORY] Australian PhD position on neural mechanisms underlying sensory-motor entrainment to rhythms From: Peter Keller <P.Keller@xxxxxxxx> Date: Wed, 12 Apr 2017 10:17:51 +0000 List-Archive:<http://lists.mcgill.ca/scripts/wa.exe?LIST=AUDITORY>--_000_D5143BF814074pkellerwesternsydneyeduau_ Content-Type: text/plain; charset="us-ascii" Content-Transfer-Encoding: quoted-printable Australian PhD position on neural mechanisms underlying sensory-motor entra= inment to rhythms The MARCS Institute for Brain, Behaviour and Development in Sydney (Austral= ia) invites applications from highly motivated Australian or overseas gradu= ates seeking to undertake a PhD supervised by Dr Manuel Varlet, Professor P= eter Keller and Dr Sylvie Nozaradan. The project will be conducted within the Music Cognition & Action (MCA) pro= gram and is funded by the Australian Research Council and Western Sydney Un= iversity. The PhD research will use electroencephalography (EEG) to investi= gate the neural mechanisms underlying auditory-motor and/or visuo-motor ent= rainment, as well as the properties of perceptual and motor rhythms modulat= ing the occurrence and strength of entrainment. Effects of entrainment on t= he motor system will also be investigated. Applicants should hold an Australian First Class Bachelor Honours degree, O= R equivalent qualifications and/or research experience (including research = publications) in a field such as psychology, cognitive neuroscience or move= ment science. Programing skills (e.g., Matlab or C++) as well as previous e= xperience with EEG would be desirable. International applicants must also demonstrate a high level of proficiency = in the English language. Potential applicants can contact Dr Manuel Varlet (m.varlet@xxxxxxxx= du.au), Professor Peter Keller (p.keller@xxxxxxxx) or Dr Sylvie= Nozaradan (s.nozaradan@xxxxxxxx) to discuss the proposed resea= rch. Applications should be sent preferably before April 21st, 2017 to the Gradu= ate Research School, but later applications will be considered until the po= sition is filled.
