About this position

Information-Based Brain Markers of Consciousness and Cognition in Health and Disease is a PhD project at Queen Mary University of London, co-supervised by Daniel Bor and Pedro Mediano of Imperial College London.

The research will examine how information is integrated and shared across the human brain, and whether changes in these processes can help explain cognitive decline and identify early markers of dementia. The project connects computational neuroscience with information theory, consciousness research, cognition and Alzheimer’s disease.

The PhD researcher will analyse large human fMRI and MEG datasets using advanced information-theoretic approaches, including partial information decomposition and ΦID. The work may also involve computational modelling and methodological development, providing an opportunity to develop quantitative tools for studying brain dynamics and information processing.

The research environment brings together neuroscience, mathematical and computational perspectives, with links between Queen Mary University of London and Imperial College London. The project is suited to students interested in applying rigorous computational methods to questions about consciousness, cognition and brain health.

Funding details

The QMUL–China Scholarship Council (CSC) scholarship covers tuition fees and provides a living stipend.

What's required
