The Institute for Creative Technologies (ICT) is looking for a Postdoctoral Scholar Research Associate to join our Mixed Reality Lab (MxR).
The role of the researcher will be to support a project, investigating a new form of human-computer interaction, facilitated by electroencephalography (EEG), and known as cortically coupled computing. The project will involve the development of an immersive (virtual and augmented reality) experimental test bed to present 3D immersive stimuli to users and involve tasks such as locomotion, visual search, and other perceptual judgments. This experimental test bed will log EEG and other forms of data, which will be interpreted and used to train algorithms to assist users in performing complex recognition and search tasks. The researcher would contribute to study design, data analysis, implementation, and submission of results for publication.
The project is supported by US Army funding and will be performed in collaboration with researchers across a number of different universities and organizations. This is a one-year position, with the possibility of renewal contingent upon funding
