Modeling Thalamocortical Dynamics Using Spiking
Vor 5 Tagen
**Modeling Thalamocortical Dynamics using Spiking Neural Networks (Master's Student Internship)**:
**Your challenges**:
- Conduct a literature review on SNN models of the thalamus, focusing on thalamocortical interactions/synchronization
- Implement an SNN that captures key thalamic dynamic properties and integrate this network into an existing NMM-based model of cortical physiology
- Develop strategies for training and optimizing the model parameters to ensure biological plausibility and computational efficiency
- Compare the models against state-labeled human EEG recordings to validate the replication of brain state transitions and maintenance
**Your strengths**:
- Bachelor's degree (or equivalent) in neuroscience, biomedical engineering, physics, mathematics, computer science, machine learning or a related field
- Experience with scientific programming (Python, MATLAB)
- Familiarity with concepts in computational neuroscience and/or neural networks
- Strong analytical skills and ability to work with complex, multi-modal datasets
- Strong sense of responsibility and commitment to the highest quality standard of work
- Self-motivation, good organizational and communication skills, impeccable attention to detail, friendly personality, and team-spirit
- Ability to manage multiple tasks simultaneously, to work independently in a fast-paced setting, and to meet tight deadlines
- Commitment to effectively respond to the needs of partners and customers
- Proficiency in English (both written and spoken), ability to communicate in German is a plus
**Our offer**:
- Vibrant, multicultural, and innovative work environment that drives research in key technologies and fosters diversity and inclusion
- State-of-the-art laboratories, high-performance computing clusters, and production facilities
- Creative mix of global talents that span the fields of physics, electronics, mathematics, biology and more, striving for excellence and high ethical standards
- Flexible working hours at a workplace in the heart of Zurich
Informal inquiries are welcome and should be directed to Dr. Taylor Newton.
