Theory of multi-scale neuronal networks
INM-6, Forschungszentrum Jülich (Germany)

Computational Neuroscience

I study models of neuronal networks, their dynamics and emerging functions, at the microscopic and macroscopic levels. I use them to interpret neuroimaging and electrophysiological data. My continuing interest is on distributed representations and computations in neuronal networks. I am currently a post-doc in the lab led by Moritz Helias at the Forschungszentrum Jülich in Germany.
