Courses I teach or contribute(d) to:

Current:

   Computation in neural systems: biological and computational vision:

An advanced course on the computations performed within the various stages of the visual pathways, from the retina to extrastriate cortical areas.

Consciousness: from philosophy to neuroscience (also called The Neurobiology of Consciousness):

        A seminar organized with A. Gamma, focusing on the Neural Correlate of Consciousness (NCC).


Introductory course in Neuroscience I and II:

       A year long course, mandatory for the doctoral students of the Neuroscience Center of Zurich (ZNZ)
       Taught with many other lecturers.

Introduction to Neuroscience: The visual system.

        Course taught (with many others) to the medical students of the University of Zurich.

Introduction to Systems Neuroscience

       A graduate course on neural systems, with focus on cortical proccessing of information.

Block course: Computational Neuroscience

        Undergraduate ETH block course.

Block course: Systems Neuroscience

       Undergraduate ETH block course.

Past:

The cognitive neuroscience of attention and consciousness:

A seminar taught with A. Schwaninger, Dr. K. Henke, and Dr. A. Gamma. Students present scientific papers that are then analyzed and discussed.
Primary visual cortex: paths through the literature (I and II):
Course taught with Prof. M. Carandini, Prof. K. Martin and PD. Dr. P. Koenig. A review of some classical papers on primary visual cortex physiology.
Einführung in die Neurophysiologie II (Introduction to neurophysiology II):
Course taught with Prof. M.-C. Hepp-Reymond. This course focuses on special neuroscientific topics (for ex: "sensory systems", in summer 2000, or "motor systems", in summer 2001) through student presentations, lectures and discussions.
EEG Felder und Hirnfunktionen (EEG fields and brain functions):
Short module course organized by PD. Dr. D. Brandeis, on EEG techniques.
Sinnesphysiologie II (Sensory physiology: from signal transduction to perception):
       
       An advanced seminar on the physiology of sensory systems. Prerequisite: Sinnesphysiologie I.

Neuroscience of action and performance.

        Seminar organized with P. Verschure about the role of the nervous system in athletic performance

Sinnesphysiologie I: Readings

       Reading seminar on sensory physiology, for ETH and University biology students.

Functional Neuroanatomy: Module on the visual system. Graduate course of the ZNZ.
