Regarding the 2nd picture, Yuya explains: „These are operant boxes I recently built to study the perception and cognition of rock pigeons and jungle crows. I train the birds to peck at visual stimuli on a touch monitor to study their motion perception and visuo-motor control."

Time flies when you're having fun(ding)! Jonathan Tsay from spent 4 weeks in Prof. Timmann-Braun's lab .essen , focusing on a project investigating which areas of the cerebellum support implicit & explicit processes that enable successful motor adaptation.
"Beyond the journal clubs, meetings, seminars & walk & talks I’ve attended, I learned so much by being a subject in the lab’s experiments (see pic of me in the MRI). Moreover, I had the opportunity to observe how my host runs her cerebellar clinic (pic in white coat) & learn from various patients with different cerebellar deficits. In my spare time, I’ve been exploring and the surrounding cities, as well as spending time with lab members outside the lab.", Jonathan says.

See u soon! Matheus Menezes
from Brazil spent his research stay at the Institute of Computational . "This experience was enriching both professionally & personally. The time I spent at RUB & in Prof. Cheng's lab was fantastic!", he says.
„I collaborated with him & the members of his lab. We had fruitful discussions not only about my , but I got to know a piece of each one‘s research. We also plan future steps to continue collaborating. Personally, it was an amazing experience visiting & nearby cities in . I would like to thank ThinkGlobal & my host Professor Cheng for opening their doors & welcoming me so well. I hope to come back soon!“

New week, new adventures! Our travelgrantee Dr. Caroline Nettekoven from in Ontario, Canada, just started her stay with Think@Ruhr host Prof. Dr. Dagmar Timmann-Braun .essen at . We wish you an exciting stay!
Second pic shows Caroline at work: „Caroline at work: "This image shows me receiving transcranial direct current stimulation, which induces a very low current in the brain, making it more likely for neurone to fire. The straps are holding the electrodes in place which induce the current (the blue sponges)."
