Description
The Objects and Knowledge Laboratory in the Division of Science and the Center of Brain and Health, New York University Abu Dhabi (https://www.oliviacheunglab.org), seeks to recruit a Post-Doctoral Associate to work on the neural mechanisms underlying interactions of visual and conceptual systems.
High-level vision, which involves transforming visual inputs into meaningful concepts such as faces, words, animals, human-made objects, and scenes, is essential for humans to understand and interact with their environment. This process relies on a cortical network that supports perception, learning, memory, and prediction. The study of high-level vision provides a window into how learning and experience impact the human brain.
The Post-Doctoral Associate will lead a project investigating the complex nature of semantic associations and image statistics on category selectivity, using machine learning and multivariate pattern analysis techniques. To distinguish...
