The Cognitive Neuroscience & Neurotechnology group at the Max Planck Institute for Biological Cybernetics, led by Dr. Romy Lorenz, is seeking two ambitious PhD students to work on the field of ultrahigh resolution fMRI for investigating the human cortex at the scale of layers and columns. The lab focuses on understanding the frontoparietal brain network mechanisms underpinning high-level cognition and adaptive behaviour through an interdisciplinary research programme. Methodologies include subject-specific brain-computer interface technology, fMRI at 3T and ultrahigh magnetic field strengths (7T and 9.4T), EEG, non-invasive brain stimulation, and machine learning.
