Student Projects

Currently, there are several projects open to students, initially as "Diplomarbeit". Some may later be continued with work towards a doctoral dissertation. The techniques to be used include bioacoustical measurements, electrophysiological recordings, and basic anatomical methods.

The follwing topics are available:

Measurment of otoacoustic emissions from the ears of gerbils, bats and humans. Aim is to understand active sensory processing in the cochlea.
(Supervisor: Kössl)

Investigation of time processing in the auditory system of gerbils and bats with neuropharmacological and electrophysiological techniques.
(Supervisor:  Kössl)

Study of  ontogenetic changes of neuronal circuits that process time in young bats.
(Supervisor:  Kössl)

Otoacoustic emissions from bushcricket ears: pharmacological tests.
(Supervisors:  Kössl, Seyfarth)

Extracellular recordings from the acoustic nerve of bushcrickets and tests with various pharmacological substances.
(Supervisors: Seyfarth, Kössl)

Investigation of neuronal correlates of tinnitus in the gerbil brain with electrophysiological, neuropharmacological and behavioural techniques.
(Supervisors:  Kössl, Gaese)

Investigating the effect of behavioural and sensory context on the perception of sound in humans (psychophysics).
(Supervisor: Gaese, see details)

Investigating brain activity during active hearing in rodents (electrophysiology and behavioural control).
(Supervisor: Gaese, see details)

Studying the effects of genetic engineering in the auditory system of rodents.
(Supervisor: Gaese, see details)
