BCI, Motor Imagery, GAMES, Virtual Reality, Eye Traking, VideoSync and EEG Analysis – Behavior Neuroscience –
Date: Oct 16 2016
City: Buenos Aires
Time: 8:30 13:00
The use of brain-computer interface (BCI) technology has been currently proven to provide new insights in studying important brain processes such as learning, brain plasticity and neurorehabilitation. The association with virtual reality, makes it possible to extrapolate lab environment providing new possibilities for neuroscientific research. This workshop will explore the use of open source softwares to acquire cortical activity with an EEG and use it to control an avatar in a virtual environment through a well known neurophysiological pattern called motor imagery. Furthermore, we will discuss how to merge and interpret data coming from different sources/devices, such as eye tracking, EEG and video cameras. In addition we will bring the state of art software (BrainVision Analyser 2.0) in ERP analysis and will demonstrate how to perform an optimal ERP study.
8:30 – 9:00 – General introduction
9:00 – 10:00 - Virtual reality and gaming technology as a tool to enrich neuroscientific research: a demonstration of an avatar controlled by motor imagery using open sources softwares.
10:00 – 10:20 coffee break
10:20 – 11:20 – Discover the invisible through professional behavior observation
11:20 – 12:20 – Performing a visual ERP measurement by using state of the art technology
12:20 – 13:00 – How to conduct an ERP analysis in BrainVision Analyzer 2.0 software
13:00 – End

A postdoctoral position to study the cognitive consequences of age-related hearing loss is available at the auditory and cognition center (AUCO). This postdoctoral position is funded by the project “From Presbycusis to Dementia. A basic and clinical approach” from the PIA-CONICYT program: Anillo de Investigacion en Ciencia ACT1403. This collaborative project includes three laboratories directed by Paul Delano (Universidad de Chile), Carolina Delgado, (Universidad de Chile) and Alexies Dagnino (Universidad de Valparaiso).
In particular, the eligible postdoctoral researcher will analyze brain-imaging data with magnetic resonance, and perform cognitive, behavioral and audiological evaluations in human subjects, including controls and presbycusis patients at the Clinical Hospital of the Universidad de Chile in Santiago, Chile, at Drs. Delano and Delgado labs. The postdoctoral researcher must have immediate and full availability (44 h per week), as the beginning of this postdoctoral position is on November 2th, 2016. The offered salary is 1,000,000 CLP monthly, for one year renewable for another year, depending on the evaluation performed by the principal investigators.
Requisite and expected skills:
- PhD in physics, engineering, biological or biomedical sciences (degree obtained after 2012).
- Expertise in programming in different languages (C, R, Matlab, etc.) is mandatory.
- Expertise in data analyses of brain magnetic resonance imaging (e.g. FreeSurfer).
- Ability to work in an interdisciplinary group of researchers.
Applications
Send an email with your CV and cover letter to: phdelano@gmail.com and carodede@gmail.com including the contact information of two references. Application deadline: 23th September, 2016. An academic committee constituted by principal and associate investigators will select the post-doctoral researcher. The non-selected and selected applicants will be informed by email near 30th September, 2016.
