<a href="https://tu-dresden.de/mn/psychologie/ifap/kknw?set_language=en">Chair of Cognitive and Clinical Neuroscience</a>. The Chair is part of
<a href="https://www.neuron-eranet.eu/projects/ReDyslexia/">ReDyslexia,</a> which is a research consortium of neuroscientists and clinicians that have the aim (1) to better understand sensory pathway dysfunction in developmental dyslexia, and (2) to directly
use this knowledge for improving treatment strategies. ReDyslexia includes studies in humans with developmental dyslexia as well as experiments in animal models. Experiments will be performed at the TUD Neuroimaging Centre (<a href="http://www.nic-tud.de">NIC</a>).
The NIC is equipped with a research-only MRI machine (Siemens 3T Prisma), MRI-compatible EEG, eye-tracking and noise-cancellation headphones, and a neurostimulation unit including TMS, tDCS, and tFUS. The experimental facilities are supported by experienced
physics and IT staff. The TU Dresden <a href="https://tu-dresden.de/ga?set_language=en">
Graduate Academy </a>offers a comprehensive training programme and individual career advice for early career researchers. The Dresden-concept
<a href="https://tu-dresden.de/forschung-transfer/services-fuer-forschende/welcomecenter">
Welcome Centre</a> facilitates the start in Dresden for international researchers.
