<span style="font-family: ArialMT;">A postdoctoral scholar position is available at
<b>Rutgers University</b> (located in Piscataway, NJ) for the study of <b>multisensory perception (both behavioral and neuroimaging) in the visually restored</b> (funded by NIH NEI). This project investigates the changes in visual cortical regions resulting
from the loss of vision and then its rehabilitation after the critical period. The postdoctoral scholar will analyze an existing MRI data set from Retinal Prosthesis patients, and will collect new MRI data before and after sight-restoring surgery with Optic
Chiasm Compression patients. The primary goal of the research is to understand the crossmodal neuroplasticity that occurs during blindness, and the re-adaptation of the visual cortex to rehabilitated vision. </span></div>
