PhD in the role of eye position signals in spatial attention University of St Andrews in United Kingdom

Fully funded PhD opportunity at the Institute for the Science of Early Years and Youth (ISEY), University of East London, Stratford Campus, United Kingdom. The project focuses on shared reading , early cognitive development , attention , language development , and dual-brain EEG . It asks how caregiver-child interactions support learning, how moment-to-moment neural activity becomes coordinated during shared reading, and how interpersonal neural coordination relates to children’s attention, enga...

PhD opportunity in developing brain imaging at Cardiff University This funded PhD project, Mapping the Developing Brain: Linking Structure and Function through Imaging , is based at Cardiff University within the Cardiff School of Psychology and is supervised by Prof Mara Cercignani and Dr Marco Palombo. The project investigates how the brain develops during the first five years of life and how this development shapes thinking, language, and self-control. The research uses data from 300 children ...

Funded PhD project at the University of Bristol (School of Psychology and Neuroscience) on sleep, trauma processing, PTSD, emotional memory, and targeted memory reactivation (TMR) . The project explores how sleep contributes to emotional processing after trauma and whether TMR can be used as a novel intervention to improve outcomes. You will work on experimental trauma paradigms, including distressing video or virtual-reality-based stimuli, and combine them with conditioned auditory cues that ar...

PhD opportunity at Cardiff University in the Cardiff School of Medicine on shared genetic architecture of neuropsychiatric disorders and novel brain biomarkers . The project sits in the area of imaging genetics and aims to improve the biological specificity of brain phenotypes by implementing novel methods for diffusion weighted imaging in a very large cohort, including UK Biobank data, using the unique Connectome scanner at CUBRIC . The research will generate novel MRI metrics closer to brain b...
