<p class="MsoNormal" style="background:white"><span style="color:#333333;mso-ligatures:none">The Medina Lab in the Department of Psychology at Emory University studies how we represent our bodies and the space around us. The lab uses a variety of cognitive
neuroscientific techniques, including detailed cognitive examinations of individuals with brain damage, experiments with neurologically intact individuals, and non-invasive brain stimulation (transcranial magnetic stimulation). This position is
<b>ideal</b> for someone who wants to gain research experience before entering graduate school and someone who is keenly interested in cognitive neuroscience, neuropsychology, cognitive psychology and/or brain stimulation. We do quite a bit of research with
interesting perceptual illusions, embodiment, sensorimotor plasticity and case studies – if that interests you, apply! Application review is ongoing and will continue until the position is filled. Estimate start date: late summer 2024.<o:p></o:p></span></p>
