PhD Candidate in the Cognitive Neuroscience of Subjective Experience at the Donders Centre for Cognition - Nijmegen, Nederland - Radboud University
Beschrijving
This PhD project aims to address a primary challenge of consciousness research: to explain phenomenological properties of conscious experience in terms of neural processes.
You will investigate how sensory predictions determine individual differences in the subjective experience of colour.You will compare trainees, who generate novel letter-colour predictions by reading books with coloured letters, with developmental synesthetes, who have life-long sensory predictions of colour evoked by letters.
Pupil dilation measurements, information theory modelling and fMRI will be used to explore the role of brainstem neuromodulators and the colour-selective visual cortex in shaping the subjective experience of colour, aiming to establish a computational link between neural processes and conscious phenomena.
You should be passionate about investigating the neural basis of subjective experience and be willing to spend time learning about and performing experiments using pupil dilation measurements, information theory and ultra-high field fMRI.
Furthermore, you should be willing to create individual testing materials and recruit participants from special populations. During this project, you will conduct several experimental studies and write a dissertation.You will be expected to conduct high-quality research, come up with creative solutions, work diligently, and interact with peers worldwide.
You will also be asked to spend 10% of your time on teaching. This is a four-year, fully funded PhD position.
