Subject: [AUDITORY] PhD positions available in auditory/music perception and communication From: "Piazza, Elise" <epiazza@xxxxxxxx> Date: Tue, 25 Oct 2022 03:13:31 +0000--_000_BN7PR07MB4580F8E8BCD9291756CF4369E32E9BN7PR07MB4580namp_ Content-Type: text/plain; charset="Windows-1252" Content-Transfer-Encoding: quoted-printable Dear Colleagues, The SoNIC (Science of Neural, Interpersonal Communication) Lab at the Unive= rsity of Rochester (https://www.piazzalab.com/) is recruiting graduate stud= ents interested in a PhD in Brain and Cognitive Sciences for the fall of 20= 23. Dr. Elise Piazza=92s research focuses on the cognitive and neural mecha= nisms of human communication across the lifespan. She studies how coupling = between people=92s brains and behaviors supports successful communication a= nd learning, how listeners compute summary statistics (or concise =93gist= =94 representations) of complex natural sounds, and how speakers adapt thei= r voices to listeners=92 demands. She also studies musical communication, s= uch as how musicians=92 brains coordinate during performance and how musica= l training impacts the hierarchical processing of sounds in the brain. The = lab uses behavioral, fMRI, fNIRS, and machine learning approaches. Our lab is committed to conducting inclusive, equitable, groundbreaking, an= d interdisciplinary research. PhD students in the BCS program will have the= opportunity to collaborate with colleagues from Neuroscience, Biomedical E= ngineering, and Data Science, as well as the Eastman School of Music, one o= f the world=92s premier music conservatories, and participate in a quarterl= y Music Cognition Symposium on campus.
