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.
