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
→ Doctoral Program

Internationale Brain Awareness Week in Berlin
Die internationale Brain Awareness Week hat begonnen. Zusammen mit unseren Partnerinstitutionen biten wir in dieser Woche ein vielfältiges Programm an Filmen, Vorträgen, Diskussionsrunden etc. Das Programm finden Sie hier.
Empfindsame Elefantenrüssel/Tactile Trunks - New findings on the sensory system of elephants
Elefanten haben einen stark spezialisierten Tastsinn. Das bestätigte eine Forschungsarbeit aus dem Labor von Michael Brecht, die die Sensorik von Elefanten untersuchte und die nun in Current Biology erschienen ist.
A new study in the Brecht lab investigated the sensory system of elephants and found these animals to be highly specialized for trunk touch. The study has been published in Current Biology.
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?”
