Dewan Universitas Aalto, Helsinki, Finlandia, telah menyetujui pemberian dana beasiswa untuk proyek penelitian aivoAALTO mengenai “Brain Imaging”.

Proyek ini melibatkan tiga institusi pendidikan, yaitu Helsinki University of Technology, Helsinki School of Economics, dan Helsinki University of Art and Design.

Posisi beasiswa yang disediakan untuk 3 tahun ke depan adalah :

• 1 beasiswa S3 “Neuroeconomics and Decision Making”.
• 1 beasiswa S3 “Neurocinematics”.
• 1 beasiswa S3 “Brain Imaging Related Signal Analysis”.
• 3 beasiswa postdoctoral di bidang “Human Brain Imaging and Related Research”.
• 2 tunjangan untuk ilmuwan senior untuk program “Human Brain Imaging and Related Research”.

The Board of Aalto University has granted funding for a three-year period for the aivoAALTO research project, which utilizes modern brain imaging methods to examine brain basis of social interaction and decision-making, as well as the effect of cinema on the human mind. The project is based on TKK’s solid expertise in brain imaging and systems neuroscience, combined with TaiK’s film research (neurocinematics) and HSE’s research on financial decision-making (neuroeconomics). An external expert was also consulted for a statement concerning the research project. The project is spearheaded by Professor Riitta Hari.

The project involves Helsinki University of Technology (TKK, www.tkk.fi ), Helsinki School of Economics (HSE, www.hse.fi ) and Helsinki University of Art and Design (TAIK, www.taik.fi ).

These three schools are just merging to form a new Aalto University (“Aalto”, meaning wave, honors the famous Finnish architect Alvar Aalto).

The positions, available immediately for up to 3 years, are the following:

• 1 PhD student in neuroeconomics and decision making
• 1 PhD student in neurocinematics
• 1 PhD student in brain-imaging- related signal analysis
• 3 postdoctoral positions in human brain imaging and related research
• 2 senior scientist positions in human brain imaging and related research
