Subject: [AUDITORY] Postdoc research position available at Birkbeck, University of London From: Adam Taylor Tierney <adamtierney@xxxxxxxx> Date: Fri, 10 May 2019 12:29:35 +0100 List-Archive:<http://lists.mcgill.ca/scripts/wa.exe?LIST=AUDITORY>--000000000000d293c7058886e091 Content-Type: text/plain; charset="UTF-8" Content-Transfer-Encoding: quoted-printable This 24-month fixed-term postdoctoral fellowship will support work on a Leverhulme Trust Research Project Grant entitled =E2=80=9CIndividual differ= ences in dimensional weighting in speech perception=E2=80=9D. Speech and music are r= edundant signals that conveys information via multiple acoustic dimensions. In principle, therefore, speech and music perception could be carried out via multiple strategies. This project will investigate individual differences in perceptual strategies across phonetic, prosodic, and musical categorization tasks to test the hypothesis that listeners have metaknowledge about their ability to process different acoustic dimensions, which they use to weight different sources of evidence. We will also use EEG and fMRI to investigate the neural mechanisms underpinning dimensional weighting. The project will combine behavioural testing with EEG and task-based fMRI. The ideal candidate will have experience in both EEG and functional/structural MRI and will a) collaborate in the design and piloting of the experimental protocols and analysis techniques, b) recruit young adult participants, c) conduct behavioural and EEG/fMRI testing, d) preprocess and analyse data, and e) lead the write up of study results.
