I am proud to have our paper where I worked as the last author accepted at the notorious ICANN conference. With Matin Urdu, Matías Lorenz and Ching-Peng Huang and with advice by Prof. Panzeri, we prove that firing rates cannot explode in efficient spiking networks.
We have an open PhD position in an exciting DFG-AEI project to further develop continuous psychophysics in collaboration with Joan-Lopez Moliner. More info: linkedin.com/posts/constant…

In our Learning Club @CompNeuro_lab tomorrow (= July 3rd, Thursday, 2 PM CET), @AlexanderTesmer will tell us about his recent paper (biorxiv.org/content/10.110…). If you'd like to attend, send an empty email to [email protected] to get the link! Thanks Alex!
New paper out! We show that individual dopaminergic neurons in Drosophila larvae can drive both learning and movement — two key dopamine functions. Advanced usage of Random Forest for multivariate data analysis. 🧠🪰📊 #Neuroscience #MachineLearning elifesciences.org/reviewed-prepr…
Out today in @Nature: we show that individual neurons have diverse tuning to a decision variable computed by the entire population, revealing a unifying geometric principle for the encoding of sensory and dynamic cognitive variables. nature.com/articles/s4158…

Deadline is approaching for this postdoc opening in my group. Deadline is June 15th. You want to analyse a lot of cool foraging data both behavioral and neural.... may be also metabolic signals to understand mechanisms underlying social foraging, submit your app :D
Please share around this Job ad : Are you excited about foraging ? do you want to analyse multidimensional large scale behavioural, metabolic and neural data ? I have a job opening for you :D I have an opening for a postdoc in my @IntBioPhysics group. The Postdoc will be…
