[Comp-neuro] White Rose studentships in computational neuroscience

[tom stafford]

Applications are now open for three studentships in computational 
neuroscience as part of the White Rose University Consortium 'Active 
Vision' network (Universities of Sheffield, York and Leeds)

Details of the studentships are available here:
http://www.shef.ac.uk/pgresearch/studentships/wrnetwork2.html

The network will bring together leading research groups at Sheffield, 
Leeds and York with overlapping interests and complementary skills in a 
new multidisciplinary collaboration, spanning experiment and theory from 
neurobiology, through cognition to bio-inspired software/hardware 
applications.

The network is focussed on modelling aspects of action selection in 
human vision. Despite extensive experimental and computational 
investigations, high level visual information processing is still poorly 
understood. We will combine (1) experimental investigation of the 
performance of the visual system (2) data analysis and modelling at the 
neurobiological level and (3) high level modelling in software and hardware.
