Two MSc thesis projects are available at the Computational Cognitive Neuroscience group (Prof. Dr. Dirk Ostwald, Freie Universität Berlin) from October 2015 to March 2016. The projects are  funded by the FU E-Research initiative (~400 Euro/month) and focus on the optimization of statistical inference  procedures for big-data neuroimaging (fMRI). The projects are carried out in collaboration with the Applied Statistics  group (Prof. Timo Schmid, Freie Universität Berlin).

Suitable candidates will have a strong interest in computational  approaches to cognitive neuroscience. Good mathematical-analytical and programming skills (e.g. Matlab, C++ or R) are essential.  Knowledge of advanced statistics (general linear models, Bayesian inference, machine learning), and neuroimaging data analysis is beneficial. 

For informal inquiries and applications, please contact Prof. Dr. Dirk Ostwald (dirk.ostwald@fu-berlin.de) until August 31^st 2015 the latest.
