Subject: [AUDITORY] Graduate training in Auditory Neuroscience at Ohio University From: "Day, Mitchell" <daym1@xxxxxxxx> Date: Fri, 10 Nov 2017 19:27:54 +0000 List-Archive:<http://lists.mcgill.ca/scripts/wa.exe?LIST=AUDITORY>--_000_CY4PR01MB33037AD2D512806E1F015D3381540CY4PR01MB3303prod_ Content-Type: text/plain; charset="us-ascii" Content-Transfer-Encoding: quoted-printable The Auditory Neurophysiology Lab at Ohio University is seeking new, motivat= ed PhD students to pursue research in auditory neuroscience. The lab is led= by Dr. Mitchell Day. Research in the lab focuses on how sound features are= coded in the brain-in particular, sound source location. Current and futur= e pursuits of the lab include: how the neural coding of sound location chan= ges with hearing loss; the neural basis for spatial aspects of the "cocktai= l party" problem (localization amongst concurrent sources); and relating pe= rceptual abilities regarding spatial hearing to neural activity in an anima= l model. Students in the lab will have the opportunity to learn the followi= ng techniques: single-unit electrophysiology in awake animals implanted wit= h tetrode drives; measurement of evoked potentials and otoacoustic emission= s for auditory diagnostic purposes; measurement of in-ear acoustic waveform= s for use in virtual acoustic space; animal and human auditory psychophysic= s; computational modeling; and sophisticated quantitative analyses of neura= l spike data. For more information about the lab, please visit: https://www= .ohio.edu/cas/biosci/research/auditorylab/. Students apply to the PhD program in Biological Sciences-Neuroscience Track= at Ohio University: https://www.ohio.edu/cas/biosci/grad/integrative-phys-= neuro/neuro-track/index.cfm. Funding of PhD students (tuition/fees/stipend)= is guaranteed for at least 5 years through departmental teaching assistant= ships, (contingent on acceptable academic performance), as well as potentia= l research assistantships through advisor external funds. Ohio University i= s located in Athens, Ohio-an extremely affordable city in the foothills of = the Appalachian mountains, noted for the beauty of its campus and the numer= ous outdoors activities in the surrounding area: http://athensohio.com/. Application materials (https://www.ohio.edu/cas/biosci/grad/bios-grad-admis= sions.cfm) must be received by January 8. The Auditory Neurophysiology Lab = is particularly interested in students with previous coursework or skills i= n computer programming and mathematics.
