Master or bachelor thesis/Internship in the Decision Neuroscience Lab at ETH
Become part of a great and motivated, young research team! This interesting project offers the unique opportunity to get experience with portable electrophysiological techniques, pupillometry, and advanced cognitive tasks. Furthermore, our motivated team is eager to mentor you in terms of good clini

The project consists of acquiring electrophysiological data from elderly and young healthy participants using a portable EEG system, which will acquire EEG signals while the participants are performing cognitive tasks and during sleep. The idea of the project is to characterize EEG and behavioral activity from 2 different groups that differ by age. This information will serve as a baseline to compare to neurodegenerative disorders such as Alzheimer’s disease.
During your internship in our lab, you will be involved with setting up the experiment by doing questionnaire design and ethics document preparation. Later you will also be involved in preparing pilot studies in which behavioral and electrophysiological data will be acquired. If you are staying for a longer time (for example master’s thesis), you will be involved with the signal processing of the acquired data.
