Affiliation of the Research Center Neurosensory Science
In order to increase the visibility of the Research Center Neurosensory Science (RCNS) in specialist circles, the board of the research center unanimously decided on March 22, 2022 that the RCNS should be mentioned on all subject-relevant publications in addition to the main affiliation of an author (e.g. his or her specialist department) as follows becomes:
| Reference | German | Englisch |
|---|---|---|
| Text Version | Forschungszentrum Neurosensorik Carl von Ossietzky Universität Oldenburg D – 26111 Oldenburg | Research Center Neurosensory Science Carl von Ossietzky Universität Oldenburg D – 26111 Oldenburg |
For journals where naming in the affiliation is not possible due to limited options, the affiliation with the RCNS should be displayed in the acknowledgments.

Sectoral distribution in the Research Centre Neurosensory Science
In order to strengthen the interdisciplinary research work, the Research Centre Neurosensory Science was restructured in the year 2014. Five sections were created which focus on thematic areas within the Neurosensory Science at the University of Oldenburg. The following table shows the current distribution of the section.
And here is another representation of the interdisciplinary composition of the Research Centre Neurosensory Science.
History of the Neurosensory Research Center
The Center for Neurosensory Sciences (CNS), the predecessor of the Research Center Neurosensory Science (RCNS), was re-established at the University of Oldenburg in 1999 by a Senate resolution. As an umbrella organization, it brings together various institutions inside and outside the university whose research focuses on biological neurosensory technology and its technical implementation. The RCNS included research groups from the fields of biology, physics, psychology and computer science, from the clinical areas of radiology and ENT and from the hearing aid industry. The European Research Training Group “Neurosensory Science” was affiliated with the RCNS as an instrument for promoting young talents.
A total of eight people are among the initiators of the CNS: Prof. Reto Weiler, Prof. Birger Kollmeier, Prof. Christiane Richter-Landsberg, Prof. Volker Mellert, Prof. Wolfgang Nebel, Prof. Hans Colonius, Prof. Mark Greenlee and Dr. Georg Fahrendorf.
In 2003, the previous Center Neurosensory Sciences (CNS) was converted into the Research Center Neurosensory Science(RCNS). The conversion was necessary due to the new structures of the University of Oldenburg, as they explicitly provide for research centers and provide framework conditions for them. The application for conversion was submitted by the board in the summer of 2003 and, after the positive votes of the participating institutes and Faculty V, was established by the executive board with a executive board resolution of September 16, 2003.
On December 10, 2003, the University Senate decided on the regulations of the Research Center Neurosensory Science (RCNS) and thereby confirmed the establishment of the Research Center Neurosensory Science at the UOL.
The following founding members of the RCNS gathered at the first center meeting of the Research Center Neurosensory Science on March 1, 2004:
Prof. Dr. Ulrike Feudel, Dr. Jan Freund, Juniorprof. Dr. Jesko Verhey, Prof. Dr. Dr. Birger Kollmeier. Juniorprof. Dr. Silke Rinkwitz, Dr. Henrik Mouritsen, PD Dr. Andreas Feigenspan, Prof. Dr. Reto Weiler, Prof. Dr. Hans Colonius, Prof. Dr. Georg Klump, Prof. Dr. Christiane Richter-Landsberg, apl. Prof. Dr. Josef Ammermüller, apl. Prof. Dr. Ulrike Janssen-Bienhold, Dr. Stefan Uppenkamp, Prof. Dr. Volker Mellert, Dr. Ulrike Langemann, Dr. Volker Hohmann, Dr. Helmut Riedel, Manfred Mauermann, Dr. Karin Dedek, Dr. Thomas Friedl, PhD Mark Bee, Dr. Petra Arndt.
Die anwesenden Gründungsmitglieder wählten einstimmig Prof. Dr. Hans Colonius, Juniorprof. Dr. Jesko Verhey und Prof. Dr. Reto Weiler für zwei Jahre als Mitglieder des Zentrumsrates und einstimmig Prof. Dr. Reto Weiler als ersten geschäftsführenden Direktor des FZN. The founding members present unanimously elected Prof. Dr. Hans Colonius, Junior Prof. Dr. Jesko Verhey and Prof. Dr. Reto Weiler for two years as members of the Center Council and unanimously Prof. Dr. Reto Weiler as the first managing director of the RCNS.
As a research center, the Research Center Neurosensory Science (RCNS) carries out interdisciplinary and interdisciplinary research tasks as well as tasks to promote young scientists. The RCNS is an independent, cross-faculty scientific institution whose members come primarily from Faculty VI - Medicine and Health Sciences and from Faculty V - Mathematics and Natural Sciences at the Carl von Ossietzky University of Oldenburg. The RCNS now has several associated external members from other universities (mostly former members of the University of Oldenburg).
The Research Center Neurosensory Science serves to promote basic and application-oriented, interdisciplinary research in the field of sensory neuroscience. In doing so, it contributes to the further expansion of this research focus at the Carl von Ossietzky University of Oldenburg.
Rules of the Research Centre Neurosensory Science
The first Rules of the Research Centre Neurosensory Science came from the year 2003. It has now been revised and updated according to the restructuring of the Research Centre.
At the 02.11.2016, the Senate of the University decided to recast the order for the Research Centre Neurosensory Science after the draft was approved by the according facultiy councils and the Bureau.
