<div style="direction:ltr; font-family:Tahoma; color:#000000; font-size:10pt">A fully-funded EU/UK PhD studentship is available in the lab of Prof Mark Humphries at the University of Nottingham, on a project entitled "Inferring the connectome using voltage
imaging".
<div><br>
</div>
<div>T<span style="font-size:10pt">his project will develop computational techniques to accurately infer wiring between neurons from the next generation of imaging techniques that directly record neuron voltages. The project will combine development of algorithms,
simulations of neural circuits as test-beds, and analysis of real imaging data from neural populations. </span>
