PhD Candidate: Neurocognitive Mechanisms of Alternative Thinking at the Donders Centre for Cognition - Nijmegen, Nederland - Radboud University
Beschrijving
This project aims to understand the neurocognitive relation between the development of referential communication and emotional action control, testing the hypothesis that both rely on the capacity of generating different hypothetical scenarios with different action options, and that this capacity ('alternative thinking') can be differentiated from other instances of cognitive flexibility.
The project harnesses natural developmental variations in the emergence of communicative skills and emotional action control to gain insight into the role and mechanisms of alternative thinking.
By embedding participants in live interactions with other human agents, this project will study alternative thinking in an experimental context closer to the boundary conditions of the problems the brain evolved to solve, testing the possibility of explaining superficially different phenomena by means of a single cognitive capacity.
You will be responsible for planning, implementing, and analysing projects investigating human communication and emotion control during performance of interactive games with concurrent electrophysiological measurements.
The position may also involve mentoring MSc students. You will take the lead in reporting the findings, in collaboration with the PIs, in international journals and conferences.We are looking for a candidate with an MSc degree who is interested in a PhD and joining a multidisciplinary team at the Donders Institute.
The study will involve acquiring and analysing neural and behavioural data from three cross-sectional samples (4-5, 12-14, and 18-24 years old), using a new neuroimaging technology (Optically Pumped Magnetometers) to track neural activity during communicative and emotional control challenges.
The project is embedded in the research groups of Prof. Ivan Toni, Dr Marlene Meyer and Prof. Karin Roelofs at the Donders Institute, combining expertise in social neurocognition, developmental neurocognition and emotional control.
