Our project is named CogShift and is now co-led by Prof Nilli Lavie at UCL and Dr James Brighton at Cranfield.
The research aims to provide a new understanding of attention during real-life tasks, and within the autonomous car, using a combination of EEG, behavioural and eye tracking measures of attention, working memory and perception.
The post holder will be responsible for the design and running of behavioural, neuroimaging and other cognitive neuroscience experiments with humans, both in the laboratory and within the car, as well as for recording, analysing and writing up the results.
The position is funded for one year in the first instance, and is available to start as soon as possible.
