PhD position - for 3 years starting 1.9.2023
The auditory system, processing sounds coming from all directions and distances, even pre-attentively, is ideally suited to detect the statistics of the acoustic context and use this rich contextual information to shape our listening process: adapt to increasing loudness, localize a relevant source, facilitate our understanding of incoming speech. Statistical learning of contextual information is essential for adaptive sensing of the surrounding world, yet we know little about the circuits and mechanisms involved in this implicit (unsupervised, non-reinforced) learning of the acoustic context. To better understand the circuits involved in sound stream segregation and their plasticity, we will sample neuronal activity in the cortico-collicular loop-the IC and A1 during contextual learning an using Neuropixels, and will study the role of the cortico-collicular pathway across different time windows.
The applicant will be expected to have a high level of motivation. Some programming knowledge is desirable.
