style="font-family: Arial; ">The main objective of this ERC
research program
is to examine neural and neurochemical markers of multisensory
integration and
to test a new hypothesis that considers dynamic interplay of
synchronized
neural populations as a key to multisensory processes (Senkowski
et al. 2008,
Trends in Neurosciences). The studies within this program
include healthy
subjects and patients with schizophrenia, as a prototype of a
mental disorder
with deficits in multisensory integration. Multisensory
processes will be
examined in a series of experiments requiring both bottom-up and
top-down
processing (Talsma et al. 2010, Trends in Cognitive Sciences).
This comprises a
combination of human EEG data as a macroscopic measure of
cortical processing
and source modeling of synchronized oscillatory activity.</span></p>

should have a background in psychology, medicine, biology,
physics or
neuroscience. Experience in human EEG/MEG studies or biosignal
analysis (e.g.,
Matlab) is desirable (i.e. required for the Post-doctoral
position). An
interest in neurophysiologic studies in clinical populations is
expected, as
well as German language skills for interacting with patients.</span></p>
