The lab is sad to say good bye to Michael Duhain who is headed off to the next phase of his training was a graduate student in the Brain and Cognitive Sciences program at the University of Rochester. We’re all going to miss him, but will expect him back for regular visits once the snow starts falling and he realizes how low the “mountains” are in Rochester!

Alexandria Marino’s paper on attentional remapping out in Neuron today!
November 6, 2016
(reposted from CVNET) Please pass this on to any talented potential neuroscience or cognitive neuroscience graduate student applicants you might know of. We would like to encourage potential graduate students to apply to a new multi-university research consortium whose goal is to investigate the neural bases of attention in both human and non-human primate brains. Details can be found here, here and here.
We have 15 graduate student positions that will begin Sept. 2017, to be funded by a new NSF EPSCoR grant on the neural basis of attention, shared among 14 faculty members at Dartmouth College, Brown University, Montana State University and the University of Reno at Nevada. These incoming 15 graduate students will form a cohort over their four or five years of PhD training, and will collaborate in a number of ways, including spending time in other faculty members’ labs, having co-mentors across institutions, interacting with industry and educational outreach efforts, and having regular virtual and in-person meetings across institutions, which will foster collaboration among our institutions, labs, and the broader communities in our four states. Applicants should apply through the normal graduate school channels of any of the universities next month, but should indicate in their personal statement that they are interested in participating in this consortium of researchers focused on the neural basis of attention. Potential graduate students are encouraged to contact individual faculty members with whom they might want to work, and to meet them at the upcoming Society for Neuroscience meeting, if they are attending. The 14 faculty members include:
Dartmouth College, Hanover NH
- Peter Tse (PI, human fMRI, EEG, psychophysics)
- Patrick Cavanagh (human fMRI, EEG, psychophysics)
- Barbara Jobst (human ECoG, human neurophysiology)
- Alireza Soltani (modeling of attentional circuitry)
- Jeremy Manning (human fMRI, EEG, ECoG, computational models)
Brown University, Providence RI
- David Sheinberg (co-PI; non-human primate neurophysiology ventral stream)
- Theresa Desrochers (non-human primate neurophysiology, fMRI)
- Barry Connors (rodent neurophysiology corticothalamic circuitry)
Montana State University, Bozeman MT
- Charlie Gray (co-PI) (non-human primate neurophysiology)
- Jamie Mazer (non-human primate neurophysiology)
University of Nevada at Reno
- Gideon Caplovitz (co-PI; human MRI, EEG, psychophysics)
- Marian Berryhill (human fMRI, EEG, psychophysics)

The lab has officially relocated to Bozeman, MT!
September 1, 2016
The Mazer, Gray and Noudoost labs have been awarded an NSF EPSCoR grant to study the Neural Basis of Attention in collaboration with investigators from Dartmouth, Brown and the University of Nevada at Reno.
