Bonjour tout le monde, voici une proposition de Catherine Perrodin pour des projets de master et de lab immersion!
Dear SV Master students,
I am an alumna from the first batch of SV students (2008!), currently running a research programme in auditory neuroscience funded by the Wellcome Trust, that is jointly hosted by University College London and the University of Basel (www.catherineperrodin.com).
I am looking for a student to join my team for their master and/or lab immersion project, to work on a project applying artificial intelligence methods to understand vocal perception in mice. The goal of this project is to use new AI tools for extracting information from multidimensional behavioural data, in order to understand how listeners perceive communication sounds, and start delineating the neural systems components necessary for this behaviour.
In order to hedge the uncertainty afforded by the current international health crisis, I am proposing an analytical project that can be done remotely if necessary. Starting date is flexible. If you are able to commit to a 2-semester project, and depending on your interests and lab reopening schedules in Basel or London, there will be the possibility of adding a second wet-lab component to the project, once COVID-19 is under control in spring 2021 for example. I am also happy to discuss shorter (1 semester) projects.
I have supervised several SV master students over the last few years, all of whom really enjoyed their time in the lab and achieved very successful master theses, some of which have already led to publication.
Please get in touch if you’re interested, want to have more information on the available project, or with any questions ([email protected]).
I’m looking forward to hearing from you
Home Exchanging sounds is one of the main forms of social communication, for humans and many other animals species. Correctly encoding and interpreting a communicated message is a difficult problem for the brain of the listener to solve. In my research I work on finding out: how does our brain enabl...
