Dear All, Please forward this announcement to your best and motivated master students: We are offering a Master’s internship co-supervised by Delphine Oudiette (DreamTeam, Paris Brain Institute) and Damien Depannemaecker (Institute of Systems Neuroscience, Aix-Marseille University) on the modeling of state transitions, in sleep and attention, using tools from dynamical systems theory. The project aims to develop and characterize a dynamical model of these transitions, fit it to empirical data (EEG, behavioral, and subjective measures), and perform model inversion to estimate individual parameters. The candidate should have a strong quantitative background (applied mathematics, physics, computer science, or computational neuroscience), solid programming skills (Python, Matlab, or equivalent), and an interest in modeling and data analysis. The internship, typically lasting six months, will take place in Paris and/or Marseille, depending on the candidate's choice, with opportunities for scientific dissemination of the results. Applications (CV and motivation letter) should be sent to both Delphine Oudiette (delphine.oudiette(a)icm-institute.org) and Damien Depannemaecker (damien.depannemaecker(a)univ-amu.fr) Thanks Damien Depannemaecker

Bonsai Programming workshop, Heidelberg, Oct 17th

by Mateusz Kostecki

Hello! We are happy to announce our first workshop of the new academic year! This time we will teach you how to use the *Bonsai* reactive programming language. Many experiments require us to synchronize multiple data streams— from cameras, sensors, microscopes—precisely deliver stimuli, and, quite often, do everything in a *closed-loop* setting. The fact that different devices use different software doesn’t make this task easier. One of the best—and open—solutions to these challenges is *Bonsai*, a reactive programming language that allows you to collect data from multiple systems, from calcium imaging through sound recordings to sensors, and to control output devices—such as feeders, motors, or stimulus delivery systems—to build *closed-loop* paradigms. It is easy to learn, implement, and is robust. During our workshop, we will introduce the basic logic of Bonsai; cover loading and saving data; working with a camera to track animals; and the basics of closed-loop experiments. We will also cover using Arduino alongside Bonsai to control experimental equipment and to save data from your sensors. *Requirements:* A Windows computer and a webcam. The workshop will take place on *Oct 17, 9:45 AM–5:00 PM* at *COS, Heidelberg Institute*. Please find more info and the registration form here: https://openlabhd.org/2025/09/30/bonsai-programming-workshop-oct-17th/ With best wishes, *Mateusz Kostecki* -- --- Mateusz Kostecki PhD Student Knapska Laboratory Nencki Institute 02-093 Warsaw, Pasteura 3, Poland https://twitter.com/mtkostecki https://evolvingbehavior.blog/

PhD position in Neuroscience: Advanced optical and electrophysiological approaches to study Purkinje cell intrinsic plasticity in larval zebrafish

by tingfenglin.ac＠gmail.com

Position title: PhD position in Neuroscience Hours per week: 36 to 40 Department: Department of Biology, research group of Dr. Ting-Feng Lin↗ To submit your application, visit: https://www.uu.nl/en/organisation/working-at-utrecht-university/jobs/phd-po… 2. Highlight Dissecting neuronal mechanisms underlying learning and memory through cutting-edge microscopy. 3. Introduction It is widely accepted that synaptic plasticity constitutes the cellular correlate of learning. Yet, synaptic plasticity alone is insufficient to fully account for learning. Other mechanisms, such as intrinsic plasticity of membrane excitability, have been shown to be necessary for memory formation. Still, it remains unclear how intrinsic plasticity contributes to memory encoding and alters cognitive processes. In this project, we will leverage the advanced voltage imaging in larval zebrafish to investigate how intrinsic plasticity reshapes neuronal behavior. 4. Your Job In this project, you will contribute to both engineering and neurobiology. First, you will help build a light-sheet microscope optimized for voltage imaging at the single-cell and subcellular level in live larval zebrafish (1). The development of this system will be supported by Dr. Emmanuel Marquez Legorreta↗, Dr. Ernest van der Wee↗, and the Biology Image Center↗ team. Once the microscope is established, you will use it to investigate the electrophysiological properties of cerebellar Purkinje cells with advanced voltage indicators such as Voltron2. The ultimate goal is to uncover how Purkinje cells alter their dendritic signaling and spiking characteristics under different sensory or chemogenetic conditioning paradigms, and to determine how these changes may be mediated through intrinsic plasticity or brain state.
