I'm looking for postdocs who'd like to apply for the Connected Minds PDFs with me and collaborators to work on the following potential projects: 1. explainable neuroAI for ANN / SNN models of motor control 2. neuromorphic robotic control 3. neurorobotic artistic performance 4. whole brain motor control networks identified through MEG and inverse optimal control. More information about the 2-yr Connected Minds PDF application, including eligibility criteria can be found here: https://www.yorku.ca/research/connected-minds/postdoctoral-fellowships/. I will of course help assembling the advisory team, writing the research project description and provide general guidance for the application. Feel free to check out my lab's website <http://compneurosci.com/> and WIKI <http://compneurosci.com/wiki/index.php/Main_Page> to get a better sense of who we are and how we work...
The Senn lab offers a Postdoc or PhD position on a computational model of cortical self-attention (supported by EBRAINS 2.0). Based on our current work and a collaboration with The Virtual Brain (Marmaduke Woodman), we seek for an implementation of neuronal self-attention mechanisms in thalamo-cortical circuits. The model is inspired by transformer-type architectures, but is consistent with experimentally observed cortical connectivity patterns. It shall be trained on cognitive tasks while being constrained to human cortical recordings. The Senn lab also offers a Postdoc or PhD position on the Neuronal Least-Action principle and its extension to long-term temporal processing and spikes (supported by the SNSF). The framework offers a rigorous description of the neuronal dynamics in cortical networks together with gradient-based synaptic learning rules. It will be applied to integrate-and-fire neurons with multiple intrinsic time constants. The project links to implementations in spike-based neuromorphic hardware.
