We are currently looking to recruit one or more graduate students for the Fall of 2010. If you have interests in visual perception, visual memory, and computational neuroscience, please get in touch. We would be happy to tell you about our work, and about the strengths of the program here at Penn State.
NOW RECRUITING FOR SPRING AND SUMMER, 2010!
The Vision, Memory, and Computational Neuroscience Laboratory is looking for research assistants to get involved with our work investigating interactions between visual perception and memory. Current projects include research on the perception of faces and the development of perceptual skill. We are also working on developing computational models of neural circuits in the visual system that are involved in perception and memory. Students in the laboratory work on designing and planning experiments, data collection and analysis, and participate in a weekly lab meeting. If you are interested in any area of psychology, would like to know more about how research in psychology is done, and would like to gain experience that will help you if you are considering graduate training in psychology, we would love to talk to you. No prior experience is necessary, and you can earn research experience credit (approximately 3 hrs commitment per week per credit). If you'd like to learn more, or be considered for a position in the lab, please send a note to Dr. Wenger (mjw19@psu.edu).
