A postdoctoral position is available to study visual and oculomotor processes contributing to spatial cognition.
Studies involve single neuron recording in awake, behaving monkeys trained to perform spatial tasks.
Current projects focus on extrastriate, parietal, and frontal cortex. The laboratory is located in the Center for the Neural Basis of Cognition, an interdisciplinary Center at the University of Pittsburgh and Carnegie Mellon University. The surrounding neuroscience community is large and varied, with strengths in systems neuroscience, functional imaging, neuropsychology, and computational and cognitive neuroscience.
