Modulbezeichnung	Neuroscience Team Project
Modulkürzel	neu650
Kreditpunkte	9,0 KP
Workload	270 h
Verwendbarkeit des Moduls	Master Neuroscience > Research Modules
Zuständige Personen	Kretzberg, Jutta (Modulverantwortung) Albert, Jörg (Prüfungsberechtigt) Ashida, Go (Prüfungsberechtigt) Clemens, Jan (Prüfungsberechtigt) Kretzberg, Jutta (Prüfungsberechtigt) Rieger, Jochem (Prüfungsberechtigt)
Teilnahmevoraussetzungen	Students from other programs are welcome when space is available. Dependent on the choice of the project, different modules are prerequisites: Current choices: neu340 (invertebrate neuroscience) neu245 (Computational Neuroscience – biophysical modeling) neu250 (Computational Neuroscience - statistical learning)
Kompetenzziele	Goals of this module: upon completion of this module, students have experienced the full cycle of a research project in a small (5 weeks full time) team project (2-5 students): Definition of an exact research question Development of a teamwork project schedule Literature search Application of experimental or modeling methods they have learned in a preceding background module Data analysis Frequent oral status reports and data discussion Poster presentation Skills to be acquired/ competencies: + Neuroscience knowledge + Experimental Methods + Scientific Literature ++ Social skills + Maths/Stats/Programming ++ Independent Research ++ Data presentation/discussion + Scientific English ++ Ethics
Modulinhalte	The seminar will cover topics of (tools for) scientific team work, literature search, and science communication. The topics of the group projects for 2-5 students differ every year, because they are related to ongoing scientific projects (e.g. of PhD students). Current project choice: Invertebrate electrophysiology (requires neu340) Biophysical modeling (requires neu245) Statistical modeling (requires neu250)
Literaturempfehlungen	Journal papers will be selected based on the topic of the project
