Psychological & Brain Sciences and the Neuroscience Program at Colgate
University are seeking applications for a full-time lab manager/lab tech for
its Brain Recording & Cognitive Science (BRCS) Laboratory. The BRCS lab is
a common space that hosts the labs of Casey Ferrara, Bruce C Hansen, Douglas N
Johnson, and Spencer Kelly. Research conducted in the lab is generally
focused on the following themes: 1) how strategies for communication vary
within and between modalities: sign language, silent gesture, and speech +
gesture, and how those strategies are acquired over time, 2) how the brain
codes different visual environments, and how those codes enable intelligent
behavior, 3) determinants and correlates of visual selective attention;
metacognition and the relationship between metacognition, learning strategies,
and learning outcomes, and 4) how bodily actions influence language production
and comprehension during communication and learning. The work conducted in the lab is supported by
the following methodologies: stationary and remote high-density EEG,
high-definition tDCS, stationary eye-tracking, augmented and virtual reality
eye-tracking, and psychophysics.
Additionally, the BRCS lab is host to a number of transdisciplinary
projects with faculty within and outside of the department.</span></p>
