Graduate Programs
We aim at fostering a new generation of scientists who have been trained in both mathematical / computational skills and neuroscientific methodologies. Therefore, the Bernstein Center Berlin has set up two international, interdisciplinary graduate programs:
→ Master Program
→ Einstein Foundation Doctoral Program

Torben Ott on radio3 Atelier Talk
One of our PIs, Torben Ott, recently appeared on German public television (ARD)!
The program explores our perception of time from a range of different perspectives, and Torben provides fascinating insights from a neuroscience perspective.

About
The Bernstein Center Berlin was founded in 2004 and addresses one of the most challenging questions in computational and cognitive neuroscience:
“How is it possible that we can react to sensory stimuli with millisecond precision if intermediate processing elements – on the level of single synapses, single neurons, small networks and even large neural systems – vary significantly in their response to the same repeated stimulus?”
