WITH: Gabriel Kreiman -- Harvard Medical School
COMMITMENT: Minimum one semester; Fall 2011
COMPENSATION: Volunteer or Course credit (see description below)

POSITION DESCRIPTION:We are developing Artificial Intelligence algorithms for pattern recognition. We need people interested in helping push the frontiers in the field by helping annotate datasets used for training the algorithms. The work involves watching movies and using our custom software to annotate content in the movies. 
To apply, please send CV to Gabriel Kreiman (email below).
We have multiple open positions for undergraduate students to conduct research projects in our lab. There are several possibilities including:
-- senior thesis
-- summer research
-- research during the academic year
The specific topics include visual object recognition, visual consciousness, artificial intelligence and computer vision.
The laboratory combines computational modeling, neurophysiological recordings and psychophysical measurements to study the neuronal circuits involved in visual perception.

WITH: Professor Ken Nakayama, Dr. Maryam Vaziri Pashkam, and Jon Freeman, Psychology/FAS
TIME COMMITMENT: Fall term
COMPENSATION: Paid and For-Credit positions available

POSITION DESCRIPTION:
This position will involve assisting with research that attempts to understand human interaction and decision making in the context of full body movement interactive games. The experiments involve collecting data with a motion tracking device (Polhemus Liberty) which records two people's 3D hand movements while playing a competitive game. We are trying to mimic the goalie and attacker roles in a soccer game and see how player’s hand movements coordinate during the game and what role facial cues and other social factors play in the context of a game.

Several positions are available, some require technical background (computer programming) and some require running experiments, interacting with the subjects,and collecting data. You will be supervised by Prof Ken Nakayama, and Maryam Vaziri Pashkam (postdoctoral fellow) and Jon Freeman (Graduate Student) at Harvard Vision Sciences Laboratory.

Requirements: Background in Computer Science/Neuroscience/Psychology or related field is preferred. The candidate must have experience in programming. The candidate is expected to be organized, self-motivated, reliable and punctual. If interested, please send an e-mail including a statement of interest and a resume to Maryam Vaziri Pashkam using the form below.
