Title of the project

Eye movements and brain dynamics in Alzheimer’s disease: the impact of smart natural environments

Application deadline

16/07/2020 23:59 – Europe/Brussels

Abstract of the project

The purpose of this research grant, which is funded by the European Community (Project’s title: “Visionary Nature Based Actions For Health, Wellbeing & Resilience In Cities – VARCITIES”) is to fund research into:

“The grant holder will have to study the eye movements, the physiological signals (EEG, pupillometry, etc.) and the cognitive correlates in patients with neurodegenerative diseases.

Two Post-doctoral Fellowship Positions

Prof. Maurizio Corbetta is looking for 2 (two) highly motivated post-doctoral students to work on the CARIPARO project titled: “The brain’s dark energy: observation, perturbation, and disruption studies of brain networks to understand cognition and stroke recovery”.

Application deadline

Abstract of the project

The human brain is one of the most complex networks with 80 bilions cells (neurons, glia) interacting through hundreds of trillions of connections to support consciousness, thought, emotions, and survival. One of the main factors limiting complex networks, from airport nets to colonies of ants, is the energy necessary to maintain their organization. Surprisingly, in the brain, most of the energy (~75%) is not spent on active behavior, but in maintaining the status quo, i.e.

Research Grant program in bio-optics

A call for admission to a Research Grant in bio-optics, microscopy, nano-optics (curriculum in physics, biotechnologies, materials science, biophysics) is open at the group of Nanodevices of Dept. of Physics and Astronomy.

Title of the project

Two photon microscopy for the study of tissue recellularization.

Abstract of the project

The innovative branch of Regenerative Medicine intends to restore the physiological function of damaged or diseased tissues by stimulating repair processes. The grant is proposed within the framework of LIFE LAB that is a large interdisciplinary project that aims at regenerating whole organs, such as the heart, lungs, liver and kidneys as well as by reconstructing tissues.

One position for a postdoctoral fellowship

One position for a postdoctoral fellowship has been opened (see details below) in the context of the following project:

Title of the project

Multi-variate analysis of resting state activity and visually evoked response to natural stimuli to map the representation of information in intrinsic brain activity

Application deadline

13/07/2020 23:59 – Europe/Brussels

Abstract of the project

This project aims to understand whether multivariate spatial patterns of activity measured with fMRI evoked by natural visual stimuli (e.g. faces, bodies, etc.) or by movie stimuli are also represented in multi-variate spatial patterns of resting-state activity. Previous work from the PI lab has shown that in object selective category regions of visual cortex (e.g.
