[visionlist] Postdoc 'Gaze track representation in higher visual cortex'

[Stefan Pollmann]

Postdoc position available

Applications are invited for a three-year postdoc position in the 
DFG-funded project “Gaze track representation in higher visual cortex". 
The project aims to investigate neural gaze track representation with 
combined eye-tracking and fMRI. In previous work, we could e.g. decode 
gaze tracksthat occur during face viewing in the fusiform face area 
(Wang et al., NatComm 2019, https://doi.org/10.1038/s41467-019-13541-3). 
Now, we want to further investigate the nature and functionof these 
action-related representations in primarily perception-related brain areas.

Research institutions in Magdeburg, (Otto-von-Guericke-University, 
Leibniz-Institute for Neurobiology, and German Center for 
Neuro-degenerative Diseases) offer a multitude of research-dedicated 
MRI-scanners (Siemens Magnetom 7 Tesla, Siemens Trio, Siemens Verio, 
Siemens Skyra und Philips Achieva). The Institute of Psychology operates 
its own compute cluster for data analysis – with a current capacity of 
200 CPU-cores. The lab has three Eyelink 1000-plus eye trackers (one 
with fMRI setup) plus two HTC VIVE VR goggles with eye-tracking capability.

Magdeburg is a lively university town with a beautiful historical centre 
around the river Elbe and with convenient transport links to Leipzig and 
Berlin. The project is a collaboration with Prof. Lihui Wang, PhD, 
Shanghai Jiao Tong University offering the opportunity of research stays 
in Shanghai.
