Two 4-year full-time PhD positions are available for work on somatosensory-auditory integration in the auditory system. This position is part of a “Vidi” grant awarded by the Dutch Research Council (NWO) to Dr. Aaron Wong’s project “Hearing more than Sound”. In this project, the candidate will use state-...

A four-year PhD position is available at the Department of Neuroscience of Erasmus MC in Rotterdam (The Netherlands) to study how the firing properties of different neuronal cell types in the mouse inferior colliculus change following sound overexposure, and how this relates to tinnitus.Enthusiastic and motivated ...

Bij oorsuizen (tinnitus) hoor je geluiden die er niet zijn. Dit is een frequent voorkomende, meestal chronische aandoening, waarvan de oorzaak nog niet goed bekend is, waarvoor geen objectieve test bestaat en waarvoor de behandelingsmogelijkheden beperkt zijn. In dit masters-onderzoek ga je onderzoeken hoe goed tin...

Over the last decade, an increasing amount of effort has been spent on constructing and, then, simulating powerful brain models that can greatly help in unraveling the mysteries of the human brain (see for instance the EU flagship Human Brain Project). Whereas these models are powerful and constantly come closer to...

One of the most difficult challenges in Computational Neuroscience is to find adequate mathematical tools to simulate detailed biophysical models of neuronal networks accurately and fast. The computational demands of such simulations are huge and more so when we consider the problem size: thousands to millions of neuro...
