Opportunity:

Brain basis of human vision, learning, and memory

Summary:

The Vision & Memory Neuroimaging Lab in the Department of Psychology at Tufts University is conducting human brain imaging studies of visual perception, cognition, learning and memory. The project will provide experience with all aspects of human neuroimaging experiments using either event-related potential (ERP) or functional magnetic resonance imaging (fMRI) techniques. This is an excellent opportunity to participate in cognitive neuroscience research and acquire the experience that is important for successful applications to graduate school in cognitive neuroscience, neuropsychology, neuroscience, computational neuroscience, computer science, biophysics, or medicine (neurology, psychiatry). Students will assist with stimulus preparation, and experiment set-up, acquisition of behavioral and neuroimaging data from human participants, and data analysis.
