Thesis supervisor: Zoltán Fekete
co-supervisor: István Ulbert
Location of studies (in Hungarian): Pázmány Péter Catholic University Faculty of Information Technology and Bionics Abbreviation of location of studies: PPKE
Description of the research topic:
The candidate will design and test an application specific multimodal microdevice, which is able to thermally excite neuronal population without cross-talk between thermal actuator (integrated infrared waveguide) and electrical recording. He/she will perform systematic stimulation experiments in combination with immunohistology to determine the parameter space of safe in vivo operation in rodents. Using a multimodal neuroimaging scheme, the effect of the microdevice induced infrared neural stimulation method on cortical connectivity will be investigated in combination with recording electrocorticograms of high spatial resolution. The microfabrication and neurosurgery background will be provided by the Centre for Energy Research and Pázmány Péter Catholic University, respectively.
Required language skills: English Further requirements: skills in in vivo electrophysiology, data analysis, histology
