Scholarship Description: The Neuronal Oscillation group and the MR Techniques in Brain Function group at the Donders Institute for Brain, Cognition and Behaviour, Centre for Cognitive Neuroimaging, have funding available for a PhD position, aimed at quantitative evaluation of neuroimaging signal characteristics resulting from activity of neurons in the working human brain. The human brain is composed of multiple regions that are flexibly engaged and disengaged depending on the cognitive task performed. Each of these regions comprises large numbers of neurons that interact non-linearly. A fundamental question in cognitive neuroscience is how the connections and interactions of the neurons shape the functional architecture of the working brain. At the Donders Institute this question is addressed experimentally by measuring cognitive signals by means of magneto-encephalography (MEG), electro-encephalography (EEG) and functional magnetic resonance imaging (fMRI).
