I would like to get in touch with candidates could contribute to an ongoing project investigating the mechanisms underlying a recently discovered visual illusion called "the illusion of absence", as well as its potential role in road accidents using behavioral
methods, VR, and EEG. Basic information about the project and the research topic can be found on our website

organisations to have a special opportunity to recruit talented international researchers who can establish themselves in Norway, thus contributing to raising the quality and academic added value of the research communities with which the researcher will be
associated."</span></div>
