Curious how #OdorDiscrimination can emerge in a biologically plausible recurrent spiking model/ #SNN? Using e-prop learning, we show heterogeneous #NeuronTuning and population trajectories in #NeuralStateSpace. Come check out my poster (#35) at 👉 #BernsteinConference, today in session I!

Curious about similarity metrics?
What if we could capture dynamical similarity that’s noise-robust and computationally efficient? (1/4)

I've been waiting some years to make this joke and now it’s real:

I conned somebody into giving me a faculty job!

I’m starting as a W1 Tenure-Track Professor at Goethe University Frankfurt in a week (lol), in the Faculty of CS and Math

and I'm recruiting PhD students 🤗
