Are you passionate about understanding the cognitive and neural processes underlying how we make sense of the world around us? Join the Cognitive and Neural Computations of Semantics (CONNECTS) project at the CIMCYC (Research Center for Mind, Brain and Behavior, University of Granada) as a postdoctoral researcher. This project investigates how semantic congruence and our intentions when interacting with objects (goals) influence human cognition across various domains.

Project Overview

CONNECTS aims to resolve paradoxes in the field of semantic congruity by developing a unified framework for understanding how our brains use stored knowledge to process and remember information. Specifically, the project will explore the dual roles of semantic information in maximizing efficiency through congruent information and in highlighting novelty via incongruency.

The project involves a multi-method approach, integrating behavioral, neural (EEG and fMRI), and computational modeling techniques (including deep neural networks). This research will address key questions such as how semantic information is used by the brain and whether these mechanisms are consistent across cognitive processes that unfold over different timescales.

Your Role

As a postdoc in CONNECTS, you will play a critical role in shaping and conducting the research. Specific duties include:

• • Reviewing and synthesizing existing literature and coming out with your own new ideas within the scope of the project.
• • Co-designing and implementing behavioral, EEG, and/or fMRI experiments to investigate semantic congruity effects.
• • Analyzing datasets using advanced multivariate methods, such as Representational Similarity Analysis (RSA) and computational models.
• • Collaborating with other team members to integrate findings withing the lab.
• • Writing research articles and presenting findings at both national and international conferences.
• • Contributing to the team spirit and support other members
• • Getting excited about learning new stuff!
