Now accepting applications for graduate positions with an emphasis on the following topics of research (applications on other topics of interest to the lab are also welcome. For more information email eckstein@psych.ucsb.edu)

Computational Cognitive Neuroscience:

This position is to elucidate the neural basis of attention, learning and decision making using electroencephalogram (EEG), functional magnetic resonance imaging (FMRI) and machine learning algorithms to relate neural activity to human behavior and computational models.

Visual Attention and Eye movements during search

How do humans and animals use the statistical structure of environments to plan eye movements and deploy attention to search for objects? This position is to study this question using computational modeling, fixed and mobile eye tracker technology to measure human eye movements, and analysis of natural images with the goal of explaining human search strategies..
