passionate and dedicated postdoctoral scholar to research how written
text is processed by the visual system. The successful candidate will
work on an <span class="caps">NIH</span>-funded project about the processing
capacity limits that affect reading. Key questions include: how much
written information can the brain process in parallel? What are the key
brain areas that transmit information from the visual system to the
language system? How are those brain areas modulated by attention? </font></span></p><p class=""><font face="Palatino" style="font-size: 14px;" class=""><span style="font-style: normal;" class="">The prior studies that motivate our current goals can be found </span><a href="http://alexlwhite.com/publications" class="">here</a><span style="font-style: normal;" class="">.</span></font></p><p class=""><span style="font-style: normal; font-size: 14px;" class=""><font face="Palatino" class="">We are most interested in a postdoctoral scholar who will take the lead on fMRI studies that are central to the <span class="caps">NIH</span> project.
