No Offer Description Do you want to contribute to groundbreaking research at the intersection of language, communication and cognitive neuroscience? As a postdoctoral researcher, you will investigate how the human brain integrates speech with visual signals such as gestures and lip movements. Working with advanced EEG and MEG methods, naturalistic stimuli and innovative analytical approaches, you will help unravel the neural dynamics that support successful communication. We are looking for a postdoctoral researcher to study how the human brain integrates what we hear and what we see during communication. In daily conversations, spoken language is accompanied by a plethora of visual signals such as hand gestures and lip movements. Although these signals unfold at different speeds and provide different kinds of cues, listeners seem to integrate these signals effortlessly. However, how this happens at a neural level remains a fundamental open question in the language sciences. As a postdoctoral researcher, you will focus on how multi-timescale oscillatory dynamics support multimodal integration and weighting. You will work with EEG/MEG data to measure how language users process and coordinate multimodal signals, and you will work with...
