209527 Supplementary Module B: Control of sensorimotor systems (S+Pr) (SoSe 2011)

Inhalt, Kommentar
The aim of this module is to deepen the methodological repertoire for research on either the physiology of sensory-guided movements or the bionics of information processing and motor control.
Students carry out individual research experiments that are immediately related to ongoing projects of the workgroup. Topic and scope of each project are subject to an individual agreement with the supervising senior researcher. Examples of possible research topics include various aspects of the physiology of sensorimotor control in insects, and modelling of sensorimotor control in software and hardware. Possible research methods include motion capture, various electrophysiological recording techniques, software modelling in MatLab, etc..
Literature will be suggested individually and according to the topic of research. Students are expected to present their project both in the form of a written project report as well as a seminar talk. In order to learn about the larger framework of their own research project, students are encouraged to take part in the weekly journal club and research seminar of the work group.
