Info Beasiswa S1 (undergraduate) S2 (master) S3 (doktor, phd) diploma scholarship
Vision Systems Physiology group (http://ltl.tkk.fi/wiki/BRU/Vision_Systems_Physiology)
has funding available for a PhD or a postdoctoral student. Earlier experience about visual system or matlab programming would be helpful. We are part of Brain Research Unit at Low Temperature Laboratory in Helsinki University of Technology. The work would target cortical physiology with brain imaging and aim to understand visual information processing at systems level. Our group works mainly with functional magnetic resonance imaging and has excellent access to research-dedicated 3 T magnet. In addition, whole-head magnetoencephalography is available for temporal resolution when necessary. We have close collaboration with groups in Helsinki University who work on visual psychophysics and computational modeling of vision.
The university is located in Espoo, Otaniemi campus, and forms a calm and research
friendly environment with significant amount of foreign students. Finland is known for an
excellent infrastructure for families and Helsinki region houses multiple international
schools. Helsinki University of Technology, together with Helsinki School of Economics and
the University of Art and Design Helsinki will be part of a new foundation-based Aalto
University at the end of next year. The new university aims to nourish a student centered
culture and high-quality research.
