Two PhD positions are available starting Fall 2018 in the Sensorimotor Neuroscience Lab at the University of Georgia. Our research will focus on investigating age-induced changes in visuomotor control using robotics, eye-tracking and virtual-reality.
The main experimental tool in our laboratory is a KINARM end point robot (BKIN Technologies, Kingston, ON, Canada) integrated with eye-tracking (SR Eyelink, Mississauga, ON, Canada) and wireless EMG (Delsys, Boston, MA). Other resources in the lab include a 6-camera motion analysis system (Vicon, UK) and force plates (Bertec, Columbus, OH).
Applicants should have:
