ECoG Post-doc opportunities with Nitin Tandon, Stan Dehaene, Nathan Crone, Xaq Pitkow & me
POSTDOCTORAL RESEARCH POSITIONSPONSORED BY BRAIN INITIATIVE GRANTPostdoctoral research positions are available in the lab of Nitin Tandon at Houston. This position is funded by a BRAIN Initiative U01 grant funded project that uses electro-corticographic (ECoG) recordings and fMRI on a large cohort (n=80) to evaluate psycholinguistic models of reading and speech production to create network level representation of language. Collaborators on the project include Greg Hickok, Stanislas Dehaene, Nathan Crone and Xaq Pitkow; the post-doc will benefit from a close interaction with these experts in the fields of reading, semantics...

The neural basis of word deafness: a frequency analysis
There are two competing theories regarding the neural basis of word deafness. Empirically we know that it can occur following unilateral left or bilateral lesions in and around auditory cortex (STG). The unilateral theory says that the relevant speech perception network is left dominant. Unilateral lesions cause word deafness by simultaneously disconnecting acoustic input from ascending auditory pathway AND by disconnecting callosal fibers from the intact right hemisphere. Bilateral lesions do the same but clip the right hemisphere inputs at their source. The bilateral theorysays that the ...
