Research by Subject
The International Graduate School of Neuroscience offers a broad and interdisciplinary spectrum of research areas in all major topics of neuroscience from molecules to cognition.
- Audio signal processing (in humans and machines)
- Clinical Neuropsychology
- Cognitive Neuroscience
- Computational Neuroscience
- Cortical and Synaptic Plasticity
- Developmental neuroscience
- Neurodegenerative Diseases
- Neuron-glia Interaction
- Neurophysiology
- Olfaction
- Philosophy of minds
- Robotics
- Signal Transduction
- Vision and Acting
New techniques in molecular biology, genetics, immunology, physiology, and modelling of neuronal processes, as well as the progress made in the area of imaging techniques have triggered rapid development in the field of neuroscience. We are ideally equipped to educate young scientists in a multidisciplinary manner, whilst enabling these scientists to conduct neuroscience research at a high international level.
