Development of computational methods to recover the retinotopic map of microelectrodes implanted in the visual cortex, using data from large-scale neuronal recordings. This project is geared toward MSc.-level students with a solid background in programming and a strong interest in computational neuroscience.
We are looking for a student with very good Matlab programming skills, and good knowledge of data analysis and statistics approaches to help with the analyses of very large in vivo calcium imaging datasets.
Rodent behavioral testing and analysis; In vivo fast-scan cyclic voltammetry; Optogenetics and pharmacogenetics; Deep-brain stimulation; Lesion studies; In vivo electrophysiology; In vivo microdialysis; Immunohistochemistry. Please have a look at our group site for more detailed information.
Animal handling and training, programming, extracellular recordings and/or two-photon imaging, data analysis, possibly extended with histological techniques and microscopy.
We investigate neural mechanisms underlying visual information processing in humans. Research techniques include mainly psychophysics, eye-tracking and fMRI.
