Subject: [AUDITORY] PhD positions in rhythm and timing From: "Patel, Aniruddh D." <a.patel@xxxxxxxx> Date: Mon, 27 Sep 2021 15:17:18 +0000--_000_SN6PR05MB52312FFE943DF4F75851526EE3A79SN6PR05MB5231namp_ Content-Type: text/plain; charset="Windows-1252" Content-Transfer-Encoding: quoted-printable Sent on behalf of Dr. Jonathan Cannon: Dr. Jonathan Cannon is seeking experimentally- and computationally-oriented= graduate students for a new research group studying timing and rhythm in t= he brain, starting at McMaster University in Canada in July 2022. The succe= ssful applicant(s) will help to launch a project exploring the neurophysiol= ogical and algorithmic roots of human entrainment to musical rhythm. Depend= ing on their interests, students may take on aspects of the project includi= ng timing psychophysics, EEG, fMRI, and design of complex rhythmic stimuli,= and/or work with and develop computational models of rhythm perception inc= luding continuous-time Bayesian filters and recurrent neural networks. The = group will be affiliated with McMaster=92s Institute for Music and the Mind= (mimm.mcmaster.ca<http://mimm.mcmaster.ca/>), and students may have opport= unities to collaborate with other rhythm researchers at McMaster, across On= tario, and internationally. The ideas underpinning the project are described in this recent talk from I= CMPC 2021: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=3Dut104v38yJQ. Further neurophys= iological detail is discussed in a 2021 Trends in Cognitive Sciences articl= e (official link<https://www.sciencedirect.com/science/article/abs/pii/S136= 4661320302746>, full text also available here<http://joncannon.net/wp-conte= nt/uploads/2021/09/FINAL_Cannon_Patel_2021_TiCS.pdf>), and the accompanying= algorithmic perspective is described in a 2021 PLOS Computational Biology = article<https://journals.plos.org/ploscompbiol/article?id=3D10.1371/journal= .pcbi.1009025>. General information on the McMaster Department of Psychology, Neuroscience,= & Behaviour graduate program and links to application instructions can be = found at: science.mcmaster.ca/pnb/<https://science.mcmaster.ca/pnb/>. Specific questions beyond those addressed on this page should be directed t= o Dr. Jonathan Cannon (jcannon@xxxxxxxx<mailto:jcannon@xxxxxxxx>). Pl= ease include a CV with your inquiry. --_000_SN6PR05MB52312FFE943DF4F75851526EE3A79SN6PR05MB5231namp_ Content-Type: text/html; charset="Windows-1252" Content-Transfer-Encoding: quoted-printable <html> <head> <meta http-equiv=3D"Content-Type" content=3D"text/html; charset=3DWindows-1= 252"> <style type=3D"text/css" style=3D"display:none;"> P {margin-top:0;margin-bo= ttom:0;} </style> </head> <body dir=3D"ltr"> <div style=3D"font-family: Calibri, Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif; font-size= : 12pt; color: rgb(0, 0, 0);"> <p style=3D"color:rgb(32, 31, 30);font-family:"Segoe UI", "S= egoe UI Web (West European)", "Segoe UI", -apple-system, Bli= nkMacSystemFont, Roboto, "Helvetica Neue", sans-serif;font-size:1= 5px;background-color:white;margin-top:0px;margin-bottom:0px"> <span style=3D"margin:0px;font-size:12pt;color:black">Sent on behalf of Dr.= Jonathan Cannon:</span></p> <p style=3D"color:rgb(32, 31, 30);font-family:"Segoe UI", "S= egoe UI Web (West European)", "Segoe UI", -apple-system, Bli= nkMacSystemFont, Roboto, "Helvetica Neue", sans-serif;font-size:1= 5px;background-color:white;margin-top:0px;margin-bottom:0px"> <span style=3D"margin:0px;font-size:12pt;color:black"><br> </span></p> <p style=3D"color:rgb(32, 31, 30);font-family:"Segoe UI", "S= egoe UI Web (West European)", "Segoe UI", -apple-system, Bli= nkMacSystemFont, Roboto, "Helvetica Neue", sans-serif;font-size:1= 5px;background-color:white;margin-top:0px;margin-bottom:0px"> <span style=3D"margin:0px;font-size:12pt;color:black">Dr. Jonathan<span>&nb= sp;</span><span data-markjs=3D"true" class=3D"markyquq1mz02" data-ogac=3D""= data-ogab=3D"" data-ogsc=3D"" data-ogsb=3D"" style=3D"margin:0px">Cannon</= span><span> </span>is seeking experimentally- and computationally-orie= nted graduate students for a new research group studying timing and rhythm in t= he brain, starting at McMaster University in Canada in July 2022.
