Austin are seeking applications for a postdoctoral fellowship funded by
an NIH-BRAIN-U01 grant. <br></p><p class="MsoNormal"><br></p><span class="gmail-m_9153498688334580gmail-im">
<p class="MsoNormal">Our labs are working together to investigate how neural circuits in the primate early visual cortex mediate visual perception.<span class="gmail-m_9153498688334580gmail-im"></span> Current research focuses on developing and
using novel optical-genetic techniques for monitoring and manipulating
neural population responses in behaving macaques in order to understand
encoding and decoding of visual information by neural populations. The
research combines neurophysiology, behavioral studies in monkeys and
humans, and computational modeling.<span class="gmail-m_9153498688334580gmail-im"></span></p></span><p class="MsoNormal"><br></p><span class="gmail-m_9153498688334580gmail-im">
<p class="MsoNormal">To be considered, the candidate must have recorded
neural activity (either imaging or electrophysiology) and analyzed it
with computational rigor. The preferred candidate will provide
evidence of having refined or developed an experimental technique to
address their scientific questions.</p><p class="MsoNormal"><br></p>
