For this we utilize data of various sources, including (but not restricted to) EEG, fMRI, MRI, eye-tracking, every-day behavioral data, video, and motion sensing to apply state of the art machine learning methods to these data. Topic-wise, we focus on the assessment of cognitive functioning, including perceptual processing, learning, (working-) memory, decision-making and processing speed. We highly value interdisciplinary discourse, scientific integrity and strongly support the Open Science movement.</div><div class=""><br class=""></div><div class=""><b class="">Responsibilities:</b></div><div class="">The successful candidate will work on research in large scale multimodal projects in the field of healthy aging and developmental disorders.
