Computational neuroscience: Statistical signal processing for multivariate neuronal data, Neural computing with Spiking neural networks.
Research Group:
Intelligent Systems and Nanoscience
How does the human brain work? As you read this text, the pixels on your screen are converted into a series of spike trains passing along the neural pathways in your brain, allowing you to understand the content. Read more
Neural circuit changes underpinning olfactory learning
Learning is a fundamental feature of brains; they rewire their circuitry to store new information, such as an association between a stimulus and its positive or negative outcome. Read more
Discovering the fundaments about why neural networks are so smart
Intelligence is one of the pillars that allows some animals to live so complex lives. Scientific approaches recently proposed have been capable of simulating networked systems that reproduce similar emergent manifestations of behavior as those observed in the brain. Read more
Understanding neurovascular coupling and its importance in the interpretation of modern neuroimaging techniques
During the past two decades, blood oxygenation level dependent (BOLD) functional magnetic resonance imaging (fMRI) has become the scientific technique of choice for investigating human brain function in the field of cognitive neuroscience. Read more
Neural and pharmacological basis of behavioral flexibility and optimal decision making
Doctoral student position in behavioral neuroscience / neuroeconomics . A doctoral student position is available at the Zurich Center for Neuroeconomics (ZNE) at the University of Zurich. Read more
The role of neural stem cells and new neurons in regulating energy homeostasis
The project combines molecular biology and neuroscience to investigate the role of neural stem cells and new neurons in regulation of body weight. Read more
Structural plasticity and regeneration in the Drosophila brain
Does the brain change as we go through life and does this depend on our experiences? What is the impact in the brain of stimulation, activity, exercise… Read more
Animats - neural culture-controlled robots for closed-loop neuroscience
The project will continue research started at the University of Reading on animats - robotic platforms controlled in real time by activity of biological neuron cultures - and will investigate the methods for implementing efficient conditioning protocols. Read more
Neural Architecture Search and Analysis: Robustness and Sparsity
This project aims to study deep neural networks behaviours against clean and adversarial datasets. In addition, projects will investigate different types of attacks on deep neural networks and study the potentiality of making neural robust against these attacks. Read more
Dissecting the molecular mechanisms of neural–fibroblast interactions in wound healing
The skin and other epithelial surfaces such as the oral mucosa play a critical role as a barrier to pathogens and other environmental insults. Read more
A role for cholesterol metabolism in neurodevelopmental disorder
Microdeletions and duplications of the chromosome 15q11.2 region have been identified as a high penetrant risk copy number variance (CNV) to autism and schizophrenia. CYFIP1 (Cytoplasmic FMR1-interacting protein 1) is generally believed to be the causal risk gene in this CNV. Read more
Radar signal processing based on neural network sequence model
Intelligent transportation and intelligent driving represent the current major trends in the development of the transportation industry, while environmental perception is the key core technology of transportation intelligence and is also a hot area of long-term academic research. Read more
Parallel-in-time and consistent training methods for solving hyperbolic PDEs via physics informed neural networks
In recent years, neural networks (NNs) have been applied in various fields of numerical modelling to learn solutions of mathematical models from data rather than by approximating equations and solving them by standard numerical methods. Read more
SELF-FUNDING MSc BY RESEARCH PROJECT: What coordination mechanisms are used by neural networks to generate fundamental components of flexible behaviour?
The basal ganglia play a critical role in shaping behaviour. Obsessive compulsive disorder is an extreme example of how imbalanced cortico-basal ganglia network activity can lead to inflexible behaviour. Read more
Growth factor isoforms in neural and pancreatic beta cell differentiation
Disorders in which specific cells malfunction and degenerate, such as diabetes and neurodegenerative disease, are a huge unmet health need for which there are currently no curative treatments. Read more
