My incredible friend & colleague @nedash.bsky.social has an interesting open position to use machine learning for predicting decision making of primates in naturalistic scenarios! She's a fantastic scientist, very supportive supervisor & has many ambitious & exciting projects going on in her lab!
I have an open position for an M.Sc. thesis, with the potential to continue into a paid PhD. If you know machine learning and are interested in naturalistic decision making in primates, email me a CV: www.uni-goettingen.de/de/embodied+...

In case you missed my talk at Cosyne yesterday, drop by to hear me talk about my work on top-down flexibility through predictive context in the macaque face processing system.
Where: Primate Neurobiology meeting @primatenzentrum.bsky.social
When: 4th April at 9am
Looking forward to more feedback!
PrimateNeurobiology 2025
