The Graduate School of Computing in Medicine and Life Sciences (funded by Deutsche Forschungsgemeinschaft, DFG, and the German Government within the German university excellence program) at the University of Luebeck is now offering a PhD scholarship for the project “Transcranial sonography (TCS) in monogenic forms of Parkinsonism ” in the research field of methods for brain mapping and imaging.

The project:
There are several open questions regarding ultrasound technology in genetic and nongenetic forms of parkinsonism:

• Is there information other than aSN or LN hyperechogenicity in the ultrasound signal from the mesencephalic and diencephalic ultrasound images to characterise distinct forms of parkinsonism/PD?
• Is the ultrasound investigation useful to screen a large population for genetic and other forms of PD?
• Can SN hyperechogenicity serve as a preclinical marker?

The Graduate School of Computing in Medicine and Life Sciences (funded by Deutsche Forschungsgemeinschaft, DFG, and the German Government within the German university excellence program) at the University of Luebeck is now offering a PhD scholarship for the project “Stroke Rehabilitation Robot “ in the research field of Robotics and Neuro-Rehabilitation.

The robots under investigation must have novel sensory capabilities to adapt to the patient’s individual needs. Interdisciplinary tracks of developments would aim at cheap, yet precise sensor-actuator combinations, high acceptability by ergonomic and psychologically optimised appearance, interactivity by smart sensors and signal analysis as well as therapeutically optimised movement paradigms.

PhD scholarship amounts to 1250 € per month. Students with a master’s degree (or its equivalent) in computer science, mathematics or engineering are invited to apply for admission. The application deadline is January 15, 2009. In certain cases, students must submit, as part of their application, the results of one of the acknowledged language tests to prove their English proficiency.

The Graduate School of Computing in Medicine and Life Sciences (funded by Deutsche Forschungsgemeinschaft, DFG, and the German Government within the German university excellence program) at the University of Luebeck is now offering a PhD scholarship for the project “Parallel mode of action control: from human studies to intelligent robotic interfaces “ in the research field of Robotics and Neuro-Rehabilitation.

The goal of the project is to transfer knowledge about the function of the motor system into haptic interface systems and stroke rehabilitation robotics. We will first consider the well established task of reaching for / grasping an object. This complex action consists of two main components, which are processed in parallel channels. The phylogenetically “older” reaching component is processed in the fast dorso-dorsal channel and the “younger” component of grasping requires more programming of the hand-object interaction and is processed in the slower ventro-dorsal channel. Neuroimaging studies with fMRI, MEG and DTI will be used to validate models.
