PhD Research Fellow in Machine Learning for Cognitive Neuroscience

The Department of Informatics at the University of Oslo is seeking an ambitious PhD Research Fellow to develop machine learning models and frameworks for time series analysis, aimed at understanding how the human brain encodes information.

This cross-disciplinary project is a high-level collaboration between the Digital Signal Processing Group (DSB) and the Group for Cognitive Neurophysiology. The successful candidate will design new learning frameworks and neural network architectures to advance our fundamental understanding of how the human brain forms perception and memories.

Key responsibilities:

• Analyze time series of local field potentials recorded in rodents using transformer architectures.
• Compare performance to time series of action potentials.
• Apply and interpret architectures to local field potential data recorded in humans.
