Identifying Brain and Cognitive Profiles Linked to Mnemonic Strategies in Theater Actors and Memory Athletes: Implications for Patients with Memory Disorders

Tue, 19 May 2026 23:23:00 +0200

The main objective of this thesis is to deepen our understanding of individual cognitive and brain specificities, with the ambition of leveraging the most developed and/or preserved capacities while bypassing altered or less efficient cognitive strategies.

PhD interdisciplinary position on the genetic determinants of motor specialization

Wed, 06 May 2026 15:43:00 +0200

The candidate will integrate quantitative 3D histology and tissue biomechanics, oculomotor behavioral tests in mutant mice, and mathematical modeling, to develop a predictive multiscale framework linking muscle structure to coordinated motor outputs. By establishing how tissue architecture constrains oculomotor performance, this work will transform not only our understanding of the oculomotor system but also provide a generalizable framework for interrogating complex neuromuscular systems.

Master Internship - Systems Neuroscience: Building a Behavioral Setup for auditory categorization and high-density recordings - Neuroscience / Engineering

Wed, 22 Apr 2026 10:55:00 +0200

The ability to categorize sounds - distinguishing a human voice from background noise, recognizing a distress call despite ambient interference - is a fundamental cognitive function of the brain. When this ability is impaired, as in autism spectrum disorder the consequences on quality of life can be profound. Yet the neural mechanisms by which the brain forms auditory categories remain largely unknown.
