I am hiring a PhD candidate and a postdoctoral researcher on the topics of mental imagery, sensory sensitivity, and their relation. The positions are at the University of Tilburg in the Netherlands, on the NWO-funded project “Individual differences in subjective
experience: The key to understanding perception”, a grant obtained within the Open Competition.</div>

Are you interested in visual perception research and would you like to study individual differences in mental imagery and sensory sensitivity? Then come join the Department of Communication and Cognition at Tilburg University. In this project, we will study
individuals with perceptual extremes, for instance those with very strong mental imagery (hyperphantasia) and those without imagery (aphantasia), and individuals who experience high sensory processing sensitivity. We use these perceptual extremes to learn
more about the integration of bottom-up sensory information and top-down predictions during perception.
