Job Description
The postdoc will work on a collaborative project between the labs of Yashar Ahmadian at the Computational and Biological Learning Lab (CBL), and Zoe Kourtzi at the Psychology Department, both at the University of Cambridge. The project investigates the computational principles and circuit mechanisms underlying human visual perceptual learning, particularly the role of adaptive changes in the balance of cortical excitation and inhibition resulting from perceptual learning. The postdoc will be based in CBL, with free access to the Kourtzi lab in the Psychology department.
