Potential Graduate Students in 2023-2024: We will be accepting a graduate student to start September 2024 or sooner. The focus of your research project will be "The neural basis of top-down biasing of bottom-up visual processing" funded by NSF award 2241975. This research aims to understand how top-down attention feeds back to earlier cortical area V1, and also aims to understand the neural basis of top-down volitional control of perception of an ambiguous stimulus. This is a collaborative project between Peter Tse at Dartmouth, Frank Tong of Vanderbilt University in Nashville TN, and Patrick Cavanagh at Glendon College, York University, Toronto Canada. You would get training from all three of us, and spend substantial time collecting data on Vanderbilt's 7T fMRI scanner. The ideal candidate will have good technical skills and a great passion for understanding how the brain and mind work.

Two new books coming out in 2024:
