New RTG Multisenses-Multiscales
In October 2018 the new DFG funded Research Training Group Multisenses-Multiscales has started at the RWTH Aachen.
The RTG incorporates 11 labs from biology and medicine to engineering and computational neuroscience. Research focus of the RTG is the integration of multisensory information on scales from molecules to systems.
More information can be found at www.rtg2416.rwth-aachen.de.
New Master Module Behavioral Neuroscience – Start Summer Term 2019
The new Master Module Behavioral Neuroscience will start in April 2019 with a weekly lecture. In addition, the module includes a weekend seminar with presentations of the latest scientific publications in the field. The practical course includes hands-on training and behavioral tasks in mice and humans using modern touchscreen setups. The course will take place during summer term break with the exact date being announced at the start of the module.
Applications for the module will be possible in RWTHonline. For further information please contact kampa@bio2.rwth-aachen.de
New Course: Data analysis with Python – Introduction to programming
Datenanlyse mit Python – Einführung in die Programmierung mit Python
Für Masterstudenten in der Biologie
Im Frühjahr findet ein zweiwöchiger Einführungskurs in die Programmiersprache Python mit Schwerpunkt auf Datenanalyse statt. Inhalte des Kurses sind Grundlagen des Umgangs mit Daten und deren Auswertung. Der Kurs richtet sich an Masterstudenten der Biologie, die wenig Erfahrung mit Programmierung haben und ist Voraussetzung für das Mastermodul Introduction to Computational Neuroscience sowie für BSc und MSc Arbeiten in unseren Arbeitsgruppen. Geplanter Zeitraum sind 2 Wochen im März.
Data analysis with Python – Introduction to programming in Python
For master students in biology
There will be an introduction course to data analysis with Python next spring. The course provides an introduction to programming using the computer language Python and is aimed at master students in biology, who are new to programming. In addition to programming skills you will also learn how to use Python for data analysis and to produce figures for your report or thesis. The course is planned for March and will take 2 weeks full time (9am-5pm)
This course will also be mandatory for Biology students who want to participate in the Master Module “Computational Neuroscience” and for students interested in a BSc or MSc thesis in our labs.

Optophysiology Project at the INT Marseille
Joint student projects are available in multiphoton imaging of mouse visual cortex at the Department of Neurophysiology (RWTH Aachen) together with the InVibe Lab at the INT Marseille. Out labs focus on information processing in visual cortex. Applying state-of-the-art multiphoton imaging techniques we visualize and identify cortical neurons and measure their responses to visual input.
We are currently looking for motivated students to participate in this collaboration study. The project includes multiphoton imaging experiments in the labs at the INT in Marseille. Assignments are available for a Master Student Research Project that ideally can be continued as a Master Thesis. Intense training in neuroscience and technical expertise will be provided and participation in the vibrant research groups of the institutes is expected. Experience in neurophysiology and fluorescence imaging is an advantage but not required.
