PhD Position in Parallel mode of action control: from human studies to intelligent robotic interfaces, University of Lübeck, Germany
Description : The Graduate School for Computing in Medicine and Life Sciences (http://www.gradschool.uni-luebeck.de/) at the University of Lübeck invites applications for a 3-year PhD scholarship. Application deadline: June 30, 2009. Project description: The goal of the project is to transfer knowledge about the function of the motor system into haptic interface systems and stroke rehabilitation robotics. We will first consider the well established task of reaching for / grasping an object. This complex action consists of two main components, which are processed in parallel channels. The phylogenetically “older” reaching component is processed in the fast dorso-dorsal channel and the “younger” component of grasping requires more programming of the hand-object interaction and is processed in the slower ventro-dorsal channel. Neuroimaging studies with fMRI, MEG and DTI will be used to validate models. Here, fMRI will be used to localise the networks of areas engaged in the performance of haptic tasks. MEG will be used to test the temporal order of activation and effective connectivity between the areas in question. Diffusion tensor tractography (DTI) will be used to identify existing anatomical connections between the activated areas. In this way, effects of stroke rehabilitation can be verified, and robotic interfaces can be adapted. Requirements: Candidates are expected to have a master’s degree (or its equivalent) in computer science, mathematics or engineering. Prior experiences in scientific publishing (during the university study or industry employment) are of advantage. Please prepare all the necessary documents and submit your application online: http://www.gradschool.uni-luebeck.de/?q=node/20.
