The representational space of consciousness

The aim of the internship is to better characterize the representational space of consciousness - why does conscious content appear unified, whereas sensory and cognitive neural maps use very different reference frames? Depending on the intern's background, this question can be approached by a novel experimental paradigm with brain imaging, and/or the analysis of already collected experimental data, and/or the development of a formal model. All approaches require programming skills, with either previous experience or a willingness to develop such skills.
