The Visual Attention and Cognition Lab of Dr. Matt Peterson, as part of CENTEC (see below), is recruiting graduate students to the PhD program for Fall 2011 admission. The Visual Attention and Cognition lab is part of the Human Factors and Applied Cognition program of the Department of Psychology at George Mason University in Fairfax, Virginia.
Funding for graduate students is available for up to 4 years. The yearly stipend is $25,000 plus full out-of-state tuition. Funding is limited to U.S. citizens.
For information about applying to the PhD Program: http://archlab.gmu.edu/graduate_programs/doctoral/doctoral.shtml
Please contact Matt Peterson (mpeters2 [ à ] gmu.edu) for more information about the Visual Attention Cognition lab.

CENTEC: The Center of Excellence in Neuroergonomics, Cognition, and Technology is recruiting graduate students for Fall 2011 admission to the PhD program in Human Factors and Applied Cognition.
The major goal of the CENTEC is to help support the US Air Force mission of enhanced human effectiveness in air, space, and cyberspace operations through research in neuroergonomics, technology, and cognition. To ensure sustained progress in this emerging scientific field, another goal of the Center is to train graduate students and postdoctoral fellows in advanced areas of research in neuroergonomics. Neuroergonomics is the study of the human brain in relation to performance at work, transportation, and other everyday settings. The central premise of neuroergonomics is that research and practice in human factors and cognitive engineering can be enriched by
consideration of theories and results from neuroscience.
Neuroergonomics has two major goals: (1) To advance understanding of human brain function in relation to mental and physical processes and performance in real-world tasks; and (2) To use existing and emerging knowledge of human performance and brain function to design technologies, systems, and environments for safe, efficient, and enjoyable work.
Members of CENTEC employ a wide variety of neuroscience and behavioral
techniques, ranging from fMRI, EEG/ERP, gaze-contingent eye tracking, transcranial magnetic stimulation (TMS), Transcranial Doppler Sonography (TDS), genetics, and neural and cognitive modeling.
