Student Projects
As well as offering a variety of exciting Ph.D. and M.Sc. projects, our lab provides
research opportunities for 3rd year dissertation students and summer students. The
size and experience of the Auditory Group means that our students are always well supported.
Dissertation projects in this lab usually result in a
publication. Interested? Get in touch
with Andy King or Jan Schnupp.

Examples of recent project titles:
- Mapping immediate-early gene expression as an index of the
distribution of sound-evoked neuronal activity in the auditory system
- Using whole-cell patch clamp recordings from midbrain slices to study
the integration of visual and auditory inputs that converge in the
deeper layers of the superior colliculus
- Investigation of the responses of auditory midbrain neurons to
stimuli presented in virtual acoustic space
- Behavioural study into the role of the auditory cortex in judging
the location of sounds in the horizontal and vertical planes and in
temporal processing
- Studying perceptual learning by adult humans using various spatial
hearing paradigms
