<p style="margin:0in;margin-bottom:.0001pt">The Papageorgiou/Investigational Targeted Brain Neurotherapeutics Laboratory is seeking a highly motivated post-doctoral fellow to conduct machine learning classification techniques on<b>
</b><strong><span style="font-weight:normal">cortical repair and neuromodulation using fMRI and real-time functional MRI neurofeedback approaches combined with EEG data acquisition in the long-term.
</span></strong>The lab focuses on the mechanisms involved in cortical blindness, motor impairment as a result of lower cranial nerve injury, and chronic pain as a function of inducing learning. These studies present a highly exciting opportunity to gain an
understanding of innovative neurofeedback methods applied in various patient populations depending on the domain of brain function lesioned, such as in visual, motor, and pain-matrix networks.

<p class="Default">The postdoctoral fellow will be involved in the application of machine learning techniques to fMRI in real-time for delivery of neurofeedback and offline analyses.. The overall goal in conducting machine learning analyses is to develop optimization
neurofeedback approaches via computational modelling. <span style="color:#414041;letter-spacing:.25pt;background:white">
