Computational Neuroscience Project
Have you ever wondered how the brain works? How does it change to store new memories? How do neurons exactly evolve to help us think? As you might have guessed, these are not easy questions. A way to explore possible answers is to analyze neural data. If you want to use your computational skills to solve a part of the brain mystery, this project could be something for you.
In this project, we will analyze neural data and apply machine learning/deep learning methods. We want to understand how the brain encodes information.
**Your profile:** Solid coding experience in Python - Willingness to work in an interdisciplinary field - Background in Informatics, Mathematics, Engineering, Physics, Biology, Neuroscience, or similar (It is totally fine if you had no contact with Neuroscience yet. Important is that you have a general interest in Neuroscience.)
**Preferred Qualifications:** Matlab, PyTorch, currently in your Master studies
**What we offer:** A friendly and interdisciplinary environment between Neuroscience, Machine Learning, and other disciplines at the ETH AI Center and Institute of Neuroinformatics.
**Supervisor:** Anh Duong Vo (ETH AI Center fellow) in the group of Benjamin Grewe and Luc Van Gool

Together we will define a research question that you can work on. But skill-wise you can learn the following:
- apply machine learning/deep learning to neural data
- getting familiar with neuroscientific terms and papers
- getting to know evaluation metrics in Neuroscience
- doing data analysis and building beautiful plots
- being encouraged to ask more questions about the brain :)
