We currently have one PhD position to offer:
The PhD position will be DFG-funded, primarily supervised by Laura, but is part of a larger team science project. The project seeks to investigate “Context-adapted representations in the early visual system”, combining Neuropixels recordings in thalamus and primary visual cortex, closed-loop virtual reality, eye and face tracking and the generation of naturalistic movies. The project will heavily draw from building “digital twins” of the early visual system with video and internal state input. It is part of CRC1233 Robust Vision, and will be performed in close collaboration with Philipp Berens, Katrin Franke at the University of Tübingen and Fabian Sinz at the University of Göttingen.
Are you curious about how the neural circuits in the visual system contribute to visual processing, perception, and behavior? We are inviting applications from motivated Bachelor and Master students to join us for lab rotations and thesis work. Programming skills are necessary.
