Semester and internship projects for students from all departments and institutes at ETH Zurich and EPFL
We offer a diversity of internship and semester projects for students from all departments at ETH. Examples - broadly speaking - of projects that we run in our lab
Computational Neuroscience (both humans and rodents)
Toward integrative approaches to study the causal role of neural oscillations via transcranial electrical stimulation
