We would like to announce the availability of three post-doctoral positions
in Dr. C.E. Schroeder's laboratory at the Nathan Kline Institute and Albert
Einstein College of Medicine in New York:

1) Computational analysis of interareal communication in primates using
single-trial multielectrode recordings of local field potentials (LFPs),
current source density (CSD), and action potential (AP) measures. This work
will be performed in collaboration with Dr. Kevin Knuth (NASA Ames Research
Center), and Drs. Steve Bressler and Mingzhou Ding (Center for Complex
Systems at Florida Atlantic University).
Our consortium has developed dVCA (differentially variable component
analysis), which separates signals in single-trial EEG data based on their
trial-to-trial variability patterns. By not assuming independence of the
sources, dVCA allows the dynamical couplings among sources to be identified
and studied. Furthermore, by accurately modeling the sources in a
single-trial trace, the ongoing oscillations can be more accurately
isolated and studied. dVCA will be used along with standard techniques (eg.
coherence analysis, wavelets, ...) to perform these studies. Further
development of dVCA and its variants will be encouraged. For an early
description of the dVCA basics, see:

Two additional post-doctoral positions are also available in this laboratory:
2) Multielectrode studies of visual processing in awake monkeys.
3) Integrated fMRI (BOLD, Perfusion) and electrophysiological (LFP, CSD,
action potential) studies of primate somatosensory system (in collaboration
with Dr. Anders Dale and Dr. Istvan Ulbert (MGH).

Nonviolence is the answer to the crucial political and moral questions of
our time; the need for mankind to overcome oppression and violence without
resorting to oppression and violence. Mankind must evolve for all human
conflict a method which rejects revenge, aggression, and retaliation. The
foundation of such a method is love.
Martin Luther King Jr. (1929 - 1968), December 11, 1964
