intended project focuses on understanding the contents and dynamics

at least one of the following domains are highly desirable: deep
learning models on natural language processing or computer vision,
advanced analysis of fMRI using encoding or decoding models,
computational modeling of spontaneous thoughts or psychiatric
disorders or human behavior, design of experiments using naturalistic
stimuli.</font></font></font></p>
