Overview

Both the structure and function of certain subsystems will be considered (e.g., neural networks in the retina) as well as their respective cooperative performance in well-defined psychophysical tasks (such as, e.g., loudness perception in normal and hearing-impaired listeners).

Features

Special emphasis in the Neurosensory Science and Systems programme from Carl von Ossietzky University of Oldenburg is placed on object perception and the physiological basis of object representation which is presumably characterized by similarities and interactions across sensory systems.

Since the research methods employed cover molecular genetics, single-cell electrophysiology, human and animal psychophysics, EEG recording, fMRT, and numerical modelling, they provide a broad methodological frame for high-level Ph.D. projects.
