West, Dr Alex Wade and Dr Melanie Burke to study the effects of
Parkinson's Disease on contrast processing in animals and humans. The
project involves comparing electrophysiological and hemodynamic measures
of visual contrast sensitivity in genetically-modified Drosophila
(supervised by Dr West), in healthy human volunteers (supervised by Dr
Wade) and in clinical populations with Parkinson's Disease (supervised
by Dr Burke). The student will learn and apply a variety of measurement
and signal processing techniques in the domains of Drosophila
electrophysiology and human neuroimaging. <br></div><div class="gmail_default" style="font-size:small"><br></div><div class="gmail_default" style="font-size:small">This
