募集の背景、プロジェクトの説明
The Embodied Cognitive Science Unit (ECSU), led by Dr. Tom Froese, is seeking a highly motivated Postdoctoral Researcher to contribute to innovative interdisciplinary research at the intersection of cognitive science, neuroscience, and philosophy. This position offers a unique opportunity to investigate the neural and physiological mechanisms underlying social interaction and decision-making through cutting-edge experiments and analyses.
https://www.oist.jp/careers/postdoctoral-researcher-embodied-cognitive-science-unit
The successful candidate will play a key role in advancing ongoing research into embodied cognition and collective decision-making, with a specific focus on integrating data from hyperscanning techniques (EEG, ECG, EDA, and respiration) and novel physiological measures, including gastric rhythms, to explore their impact on cognitive and social processes. -
仕事内容・職務内容
Responsibilities
1. Experimental Design and Execution:
- Lead the development and execution of EEG hyperscanning experiments using the Perceptual Crossing Paradigm and related setups.
- Incorporate additional physiological measurements (e.g., gut activity) into experimental protocols to study their influence on cognition and social coordination.
2. Data Analysis:
- Perform EEG (single brain and interbrain) data analysis, e.g. connectivity analysis, & signal complexity analysis.
- Perform other physiological signal analysis (ECG, EDA, Respiration pattern, and gastric activity) and interpret the relationship between neural activity and other physiological activity during social processes.
- Explore innovative statistical and computational models, such as optimal stopping theory and irruption theory, to interpret experimental findings.
3. Collaboration:
- Work closely with an interdisciplinary team of neuroscientists, engineers, and cognitive scientists to refine experimental designs and integrate findings into broader theoretical frameworks.
- Engage with collaborators at partner institutions, including those focusing on mental health applications of embodied cognition research.
4. Dissemination:
- Publish high-quality research articles in peer-reviewed journals.
- Present findings at international conferences and workshops. -
