Computational Neuroscience

I study models of neuronal networks, their dynamics and emerging functions. I also 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 working within the Human Brain Project in the lab of Prof Gustavo Deco.
