The position available is part of team investigating changes in the neural organization of cognitive skills in epilepsy patients. Projects utilize techniques such as depth electrode brain stimulation and functional magnetic resonance imaging to study reorganization of cognitive functions in pre- and post- surgery epilepsy patients as part of NIH funded research. Position will require administering neuropsychological tests, preparing brain stimulation and functional imaging experiments, administering imaging studies, conducting appropriate post-processing and statistical analyses using software such as SPM '05, and preparing results for publication/presentation. Prior skills in brain image processing are preferred. The position will provide experience in working with a variety of neurologically-impaired patients, most notably epilepsy, as well as provide involvement in a variety of neurosurgical procedures.
