26.04.2017To the brain and back again: A journey through theoretical neuroscience

Dr. Fabian Schönfeld, Theory of Neural Systems, Institut für Neuroinformatik, Ruhr-Universität Bochum

Neuroscience has many faces: Anatomy, psychology and biology – concepts that everyone has a grasp of. We would like to invite you to unknown waters and join us on our journey through the theoretical neuroscience: Virtual rats, learning machines and computer clusters are our tools to explore the brain. They help us to understand how the brain turns the chaos of sensory impressions it is faced with into the highly developed performance we accept as a given.
