Exploratory analysis of the conscious resting state with fMRI
A postdoctoral position is available to work in functional magnetic
resonance imaging of the conscious resting state. These periods represent an
important fraction of the human wakeful period. In cognitive neurosciences
this state is frequently used as a control for the experimental paradigm and
its neural basis are of a growing interest since the past 5 years. The work
will involve the study of a growing database including child, young adult
and patient data acquired on both 1.5T and 3T scanner with the Blood
oxygenation level depend echo planar imaging sequence. The goal will be to
test and compare different methods of signal processing compatible with the
absence of an imposed paradigm during the acquisition such is the
independent component method.
Applicants should hold a Ph.D. degree in physics, applied mathematics,
physiology or signal processing and be familiar with the concepts and
methods of cognitive neuroimaging. The applicant shall be comfortable with
the Unix operating system and knowledge of Matlab programming languages is
welcome.
