Forschungspraktikum Neurobiologie an Vögeln

What it is about

You work experimentally on visual processing and multimodal integration in birds. You conduct in vivo experiments (e.g., behavioral experiments with chickens), you care for and supervise test animals, implement stimuli and independently evaluate the data. In the end you will be able to plan, conduct and statistically analyze experiments as well as present the results graphically.

What you will be able to do

• Carry out common in vivo techniques for investigating visual and multimodal processing
• Experiment preparation, care and supervision of test animals
• Generation of visual and multimodal stimuli
• Programming basics (MATLAB or Python)
• Data collection, statistical analysis and graphical presentation
• Documentation and scientific protoco ling of experiments

What the module consists of

• PraktikumConducting the experiments, care of the animals, data collection and analysis
• Independent work / ExerciseIndependent preparation, research and evaluation; development of foundational information

Teaching method

• Questioning-Developing MethodIntroduction of new content through guiding questions, supports independent work
• Independent workIndependent execution of preparation, data collection and data analysis
