a postdoctoral research associate with a strong background in
brain-computer interfaces (BCI). The project involves the
development of a fully mobile auditory BCI. A key focus will be
in the development and evaluation of unobtrusive EEG acquisition
technology that is motion-tolerant and can be used in daily-life
situations for the monitoring of auditory attention and
cognitive states.<o:p></o:p></span></p>

Neuropsychology Lab conducts research into the underpinnings of
higher visual, auditory and motor functions. We apply
non-invasive neurophysiological recording techniques, with the
majority of studies using the electroencephalogram (EEG) as
method of choice. Our lab features several state-of-the-art
stationary high-density EEG systems, eye-tracking, a near
infrared spectroscopy (NIRS) system and access to MRI and MEG.
Several fully mobile, smartphone-operated wireless EEG systems
are available as well. <o:p></o:p></span></p>

experience with Machine Learning and expertise in single-trial
EEG analysis is required. Hands-on experience in BCI paradigm
development or EEG sensor development is beneficial, as well as
knowledge of BCI2000, BCILAB or OpenVibe software. An interest
in auditory psychophysiology and a background in neuroscience is
a plus but not strictly required. The position is suitable for
