Come be a postdoc in the Music and Neuroscience lab! We've got an amazing set of neuroscience resources through Western Centre for Brain and Mind and Western BrainsCAN and a thriving interdisciplinary initiative with Western Music, NCA at #WesternU, and WesternPsych. jessicagrahn.com/postdoctoral-p… Please retweet!
Effective immediately! Two PhD/Post-doc positions for research at the interface of movement ecology, animal cognition and management of three interacting raven species in a desert ecosystem (Israel) #conservation #MovementEcology Contact Ran Nathan for details.
A call for students to do a #PhD in my brand new lab in St Andrews in 2022! We have 3 (yes 3!!) funded PhD positions available for students who love #bats, and want to learn all about vocal learning. Be sure to apply! University of St Andrews @CentreBioDiv MaxPlanck-Psycholinguistics jobRxiv
#eNeuro: Macias et al. TAMU Biology report that as echo repetition rates increased, evoked spike times became more temporal precise, thereby enhancing synchronization-based information coding of complex acoustic signals in the auditory cortex in bats. eneuro.org/lookup/DOI/10.…
. Jonaz Moreno reports on Alyson Brokaw, PhD and co's recent Royal Society Publishing #BiologyLetters paper showing that in addition to using echolocation, Jamaican fruit-eating bats use their noses to sniff out the best bananas journals.biologists.com/jeb/article/22…
Great writeup by Jonaz Moreno of the last paper from my PhD! Thanks for sharing the bat sniffing fun! Shoutout to coauthors MikeSmotherman and Evynn Joy (and Rachel Page, not on Twitter)
