There are three main types of project that I am willing to supervise:
- basic neuroscience survey projects
- programming projects
- simulations of models of brain-like computations
The first two types are typically semester projects or masters projects,
and the third are typically larger scale masters or PhD projects.
If you have your own idea for a project,
and you have done projects on your own before,
then I will probably be willing to supervise your project,
if its focus is somehow related to any of my many interests.
If you are looking for a well defined project where somebody
can guide you regarding how to do each of the steps, then I am
probably not the right advisor for you.
There are many projects like this available in other groups,
but our group is more individualistic, and each student
is the main force of not only the labor but also the direction
and creative problem solving that is always necessary.
All group members support each other through discussions
and regular meetings.
To begin, we will help you with your project idea, processing your
vague ideas into a concrete feasible project of the style you like.
This process usually requires meeting a few times, and results
in a written project description (required for non-PhD projects).
PhD Projects
Be sure to read my advice regarding why you probably should not pursue a PhD.
If you are interested in doing a PhD with us,
you should come visit us and do a short little project with us.
This will give you a chance to get to know us,
and everyone (especially you) can try to figure out
whether you and our group are appropriate for each other.
