Simulated Pioneer GPS Service
The Simulated Pioneer GPS service provides a simple localization service to be used in the Microsoft Robotics Developer Studio simulator. It consists in a simple box shape entity (PioneerGPSEntity) that can be attached to a simulated robot, and a service (SimulatedPioneerGPS) that provides notifications indicating updated X, Y, Z coordinates of the robot in the simulated world.
This service is based on the Simulated GPS service that comes with MRDS 2008 R2.
Service Download
Simulated Pioneer GPS source code for MRDS 2008 R2 is available here.
Installation Instructions
Download the ZIP file to your MRDS home directory, When you unzip the file, it creates one project in the
packages\crubots\simulation\sensors directory under your MSRS installation:
The folder SimulatedPioneerGPS will contain the source code.
If you want to compile the projects yourself, then open
the project and do a rebuild (see the note below first!):
SimulatedPioneerGPS\SimulatedPioneerGPS.sln
*** IMPORTANT NOTE: ***
In order to have the project references working for your particular settings,
you will need to run DssProjectMigration.exe. For instance (from the MRDS
command prompt):
bin\DssProjectMigration.exe packages\crubots\simulation\sensors\SimulatedPioneerGPS
See Readme.txt file for more details. Use the MRDS forum if you have any question about this service.

Phd studentship available in computational neuroscience and consciousness
Large-Scale Computational Models of Thalamocortical Systems Underlying Consciousness.
Funding is available (for UK/EU applicants) for a three-year full-time D.Phil. (Ph.D) in the area of computational neuroscience and consciousness, supervised by Dr. Anil Seth and Prof. Owen Holland. The successful candidate will develop a large-scale computational model of human thalamocortical systems using Graphics/ /Processor Unit (GPU) technology, and will use the model to investigate the neuronal consequences of simple psychophysical manipulations. The position will suit a candidate highly qualified in software engineering with a strong interest, and preferably prior training, in computational neuroscience and consciousness science. Sussex has one of the highest concentrations of expertise in consciousness science in the world, and this research area is growing rapidly within the University.
For more information and for how to apply please visit http://www.jobs.ac.uk/job/AAN013/research-studentship/. Interested candidates should contact Dr. Seth (a.k.seth at sussex.ac.uk). Closing date for applications is Feb 20, 2010.

Two Chairs wanted for new Centre for Computational Neuroscience and Cognitive Robotics: Birmingham UK
University of Birmingham
College of Life and Environmental Sciences College of Engineering and Physical Sciences
School of Psychology
School of Computer Science
Chair in Computational Neuroscience (Ref: 38192) Chair in Cognitive Robotics (Ref: 38193)
Centre for Computational Neuroscience and Cognitive Robotics Linking neuroscience with robotics.
The University of Birmingham is making a multimillion pound investment to create the Centre for Computational Neuroscience and Cognitive Robotics (CNCR). The Centre will foster an interdisciplinary, collaborative approach to advance understanding of brain function and learning, and develop better robotic systems. The research will be translated into innovative treatment for patients with developmental, degenerative or acquired neurological disorders.
To establish the centre, we are seeking two Chairs, one in computational neuroscience and one in cognitive robotics. These appointments will be the first of a series culminating in ten academic and technical positions. In the intermediate term we will be appointing three lecturers and two technical positions to directly support the incoming teams. This will be followed by the appointment of a further three posts (one chair level) in the next year. We expect the new chair-level appointees to play a major role in the next round of recruitment.
The initial two chairs should have an international research record that makes cutting-edge contributions to their field. Salary will be commensurate with experience. For information and enquiries please contact either
Professor Glyn Humphreys, g.w.humphreys at bham.ac.uk, Professor Chris Miall, Head of Psychology, r.c.miall at bham.ac.uk or Dr Jeremy Wyatt, School of Computer Science, j.l.wyatt at bham.ac.uk
To download the details and submit an electronic application online visit: www.hr.bham.ac.uk/jobs . Alternatively information can be obtained from Sally Johnson on +44 (0)121 415 8116.

Details for the Chair in Computational Neuroscience http://www.download.bham.ac.uk/vacancies/jd/38192.pdf
Closing date for both posts: 30 March 2010 A University of Fairness and Diversity

Applicants are invited for a postdoctoral position in the field of neural engineering with the focus on Brain Computer Interface (BCI).
The successful applicant will perform research in the fields of signal processing, adaptive modeling, machine learning and fast calculations for real time applications in the frame of project ICOBI (Brain- Computer Interface. Self-learning adaptive embedded solution) of Foundation "Nanoscience at the limits of Nanoelectronics". The particular goal of the project is the development of self paced ECoG based BCI with multiple degrees of freedom. The postdoctoral scientist will contribute to study of movement related brain dynamics. He/she will collaborate within an interdisciplinary team of researchers whose expertise spans mathematics, computer science, microelectronics, nanoscience and neuroscience with the goal of performing functional BCI system.
The ideal candidate will have a doctoral degree, or equivalent, in a relevant discipline (Computer Science, Mathematics, Physics) with an emphasis on computational approaches to the neuronal systems analyses.
Programming in Matlab and C/C++ will be part of the project.
Candidates with the experience in EEG/ECoG based BCI or in EEG/ECoG data analysis will be preferred. Be first to comment this article | Add as favourites (176) | Quote this article on your site | Views: 2859 |

Pentti Haikonen comments invited by Conscious-Robots.com editor on the recent article about Haikonen's Architecture for Conscious Machines written by Trung Doan.
I wish to thank Trung Doan for his analysis of my approach towards machine consciousness here. Trung Doan has done a lot of work here as he illustrates the main principles with practical examples, which are worked out along the principles that I present in my book "Robot Brains".
 Dr. Haikonen Trung Doan notes correctly that the neural machinery does not operate with numeric values, instead the individual signals represent elementary features of sensed entities and these are the basic meaning of these signals. It is useful to note that in the machinery groups of signals that represent some sensed entity may be used to stand for completely different things; these signal groups act as symbols for these things. This is a necessary prerequisite for e.g. natural language and inner speech. Be first to comment this article | Add as favourites (345) | Quote this article on your site | Views: 2155 |
