Student Projects

Currently, there are projects for bachelor and master theses open to students. Some may later be continued with work towards a doctoral dissertation. The techniques to be used include bioacoustical and biomechanical measurements, behavorial techniques, extra- and intracellular electrophysiological recordings, and basic anatomical methods.

For specific projects please contact M. Kössl, B. Gaese, J. Hechavarria.


The follwing topics are available:


Measurment of otoacoustic emissions from the ears of gerbils, bats and humans. Aim is to understand active sensory processing in the cochlea.
(Supervisor: Kössl)

Stimulus specific adaptation in humans using DPOAE measurements.
(Franziska Immke)

Investigation of time processing in the auditory system of gerbils and bats with neuropharmacological and electrophysiological techniques.
(Supervisor: Hechavarria, Kössl)

Investigation of neuronal correlates of tinnitus in the gerbil brain with electrophysiological, neuropharmacological and behavioural techniques.
(Supervisors: KösslGaese)

Investigating brain activity during active hearing in rodents (electrophysiology and behavioural control).
(Supervisor: Gaese)

Studying the effects of genetic engineering in the auditory system of rodents.
(Supervisor: Gaese)
