PhD in Cybernetics

Position as PhD Research Fellow in Machine Learning and Applied Cognitive Neuroscience available at the Department of Informatics./nThe fellowship period is three years./nStarting date no later than October 1, 2026./nThe position is placed in the Digital Signal Processing and Image Analysis group (DSB), Section for Machine Learning, Department of Informatics at the University of Oslo./nThis cross-disciplinary project is a high-level collaboration between the Digital Signal Processing Group (DSB), at the Section for Machine Learning (IFI), and the Group for Cognitive Neurophysiology (Medical Faculty)./nThe project involves developing Machine Learning models and frameworks for time series analysis to understand how the human brain encodes information, using transformer architectures to analyze time series of local field potentials recorded in rodents, compare performance to time series of action potentials, and apply the architectures to local field potential data recorded in humans who have seen images and movies.
