Internship at the Neural Control of Movement Lab
We are conducting a Non-invasive Brain Stimulation experiments aimed at identifying how electrical brain stimulation modulates human neurophysiology and behaviour. We are looking for a student to join the project for at least 3 months
Keywords: brain, neurophysiology, tES, TMS, visual perception, motor circuits, behaviour, internship, data collection, data processing, data analysis, participants recruitment.
The ongoing project focuses on modulating neural signals using electrical transcranial random noise stimulation (tRNS) for signal enhancement. We provided the first evidence that the signal enhancement can be obtained when electrical noise is directly delivered to the cortex via tRNS. So far, we showed the acute effects of electrical noise stimulation on visual as well as motor networks. During your internship in our lab, you will be involved in brain stimulation experiments using tRNS to further explore its underlying mechanisms and potential applications. The internship aims to provide the opportunity for a hands-on experience of using brain stimulation techniques, as well as behaviour testing skills with understanding the related theory. You will be working in a highly motivating environment and guided through research experiments with healthy human participants.

The student will be in charge of data collection, making the testing schedule, participants’ recruitment, and organising further aspects associated with the testing.
After completing the part-time internship, there is a possibility of staying in the lab for a Master’s thesis project or as a part-time research assistant.
