Doctorates, Bachelor's and Master's theses (Prof Hildebrandt)
Bachelor's and Master's theses (psychology, biology and neuroscience) can be assigned at any time. As a rule, these relate to a clinical, neuropsychological, neuropsychiatric or neuroradiological topic.
The topic is either chosen by the student's own proposal or several topics are available for selection. If you make your own suggestion, you can only be supervised if the topic is relevant.
Working on a psychological Master's thesis topic usually requires several months of study in a rehabilitation clinic or hospital. Appropriate co-operation partners are available and will be named. The same applies to doctoral theses.
The processing of biological Bachelor's thesis topics and also neuroscientific Master's thesis topics usually requires an examination of neuroradiological imaging and the processing of imaging data. One focus here is the analysis of MRI data from patients with multiple sclerosis. In individual cases, however, there are also other examination topics (e.g. neurodegenerative diseases).
For those who prefer to carry out purely experimental work, there is the possibility in individual cases to work on questions of visual perception or event-related correlates in higher cognitive performance in co-operation with the departments of the Institute of Psychology.
Current topics for doctoral and master's theses include
- Rehabilitation of memory disorders.
- Neglect therapy through active cueing and functional electrostimulation.
- Cortisol, visuospatial attention performance and fatigue in patients with multiple sclerosis.
- Recognition errors in the differential diagnosis of early dementia and MCI.
- Development of neuropsychological prognostic parameters for the treatment of normal pressure hydrocephalus.
The list is incomplete and topics are subject to change.
