Dear colleagues,<br class="">
<br class="">
a researcher position is available at my laboratory to work on computational modelling of human attentional <br class="">
processes and how are they affected by multimodal distractors and cognitive workload, with applications to <br class="">
adaptive brain-machine interfaces for assisted driving. The applicant will preferably be at a postdoctoral level, <br class="">
but other candidates will also be considered. <br class="">
<br class="">
The research will be part of a USA/UK MURI (Multidisciplinary University Research Initiative) project on “Adaptive<br class="">
Closed-Loop Multisensory Brain-Computer Interfaces for Enhanced Decision Accuracy”. You will be part of<br class="">
the Personal Robotics Laboratory at the Department of Electrical and Electronic Engineering of Imperial College<br class="">
in London, a vibrant multidisciplinary research group interested in perceiving, modelling and assisting humans <br class="">
performing complex tasks. You will be collaborating closely with researchers from USC, CSHL, Harvard, NYU,<br class="">
UC Berkeley, UCL and Essex, and will collect multimodal (behavioural, physiological and performance) human <br class="">
data whilst the human is driving simulated cars in the presence of distractors and under additional workload<br class="">
induced through secondary and tertiary cognitive and sensorimotor tasks. <br class="">
<br class="">
