Laboratoire de calcul neuromimetique (SV/IC)

The Laboratory of Computational Neuroscience (LCN) at EPFL, headed by Professor Wulfram Gerstner, focuses on research activities in neural networks and computational neuroscience. Their work delves into questions surrounding temporal aspects of information processing in the brain, including studying networks of (Spiking) Neurons, learning by surprise and neoHebbian plasticity rules, and reinforcement learning and the brain. Past research has explored spike-timing dependent learning rules and spatial representation in the hippocampus. The unit offers courses on machine learning, artificial neural networks, reinforcement learning, computational neurosciences, statistics, experimental design, and neuroscience behavior and cognition.
