The project will investigate frontal lobe and cerebellar learning mechanisms, automatic and controlled processing, and the impact of aging. The project will focus on instrumental learning of eye movements using a newly acquired, MRI-compatible, state-of-the-art eye tracker. We will also use a well-understood, simple, cerebellar-dependent form of learning, classical eyeblink conditioning. Functional MRI will be conducted at our 3T imaging facility at CUBIC, Royal Holloway, University of London, as well as at the 7T MRI facility at the Wellcome Trust Centre for Integrative Neuroscience (WIN, formerly FMRIB), University of Oxford.<\/p>\n<p>Preliminary enquiries and expressions of interest are welcome at any time (n.ramnani@rhul.ac.uk).<\/p>\n<p><em>Further reading<\/em><\/p>\n<ul>\n<li><b>Ramnani N<\/b>\u00a0(2014), \u201cAutomatic and Controlled Processing in the Cortico-Cerebellar System\u201d, in<em> Cerebellar Learning<\/em>, Progress in Brain Research vol. 210.
