Introduction to Computational Neuroscience
Upcoming event
| 7 May 2018 (Monday) |
Alexandre Pouget | University of Geneva, Switzerland Alexandre Pouget's research focuses on understanding how the brain uses probabilistic inference for decision making, especially in the presence of uncertainty. By studying the neural encoding of probabilistic measures and information quantities, his work provides a theoretical framework for how the brain can acquire knowledge. He applies this probabilistic framework to a variety of cognitive processes, like sensory processing, perception and causal reasoning. » More about the speaker | Seminar 11:30 - 12:30 |
Learning, uncertainty and confidence |
| Workshop 12:45 - 14:15 |
Bayesian approach to neural computation » Please register! (Free lunch!) |
Location: FMI, Room 5.30
Organizers: Arjun Bharioke, Aleena Garner, Fiona Muellner, Benjamin Titze In this lecture series, outstanding researchers will present central topics in computational and theoretical neuroscience. All speakers will give both a research talk and a general introduction to a computational neuroscience topic.

FMI ACCESS
Please access the FMI at its Porte at Maulbeerstrasse 66.
At the Porte, visitors should state their names and affiliations.
They will check the names and ask the visitor to write their last names on a sticker and let the visitor through.
Please take the elevators to the seminar room on the 5th floor.
In order to avoid a last minute crunch and delays to the seminar, it is strongly advised to show up at the Porte about 10 minutes before the beginning of the seminar.
