statistical tools such as SPM (Statistical Parameter Mapping) for
examining functional brain activity in humans. Functional imaging in humans is
integrated with single cell recording, fMRI and metabolic mapping
in awake monkey.
2) An attractive income. Depending on qualification and level, the
applicant will receive up to 2150 USD or 2375 Euro per month,
