Loud sounds will alter the function of inner ear sensory cells, and the techniques mentioned above are also used for studying the physiological mechanisms underlying noise-induced hearing loss.

Seeing how we hear with optical flow calculations
We are happy to receive applications from students interested in our work, who would like to perform a master or doctoral thesis project or be a research assistant in the Auditory neuroscience laboratory.
We encourage students in pursuing a hearing physiology project involving physiological measurements using electrophysiological recordings combined with confocal imaging. Matlab or R programming building scripts for visualizing and analysis of scientific data is used. Minimum basic knowledge of R or Matlab and understanding of basic neuroscience and physiology and biophysics is appreciated.
