Just finished the excellent workshop organised with @BernaezLaura and @somnirons and funded by the @jherzstiftung on #bioInspired#deeplearning. The participants were great, the projects exciting and it was a wonderful experience for me. I hope do organize it again next year!
Let me share some positive lab news and invite you to check out our new article with @BernaezLaura @AndreasNold1. We showed how plasticity can help to maintain stable representations of sensory stimuli at different illuminations https://t.co/f2V8A2UsRI

Many labs now study synaptic plasticity mechanisms and their impact on neural computation. In our recent work with @BernaezLaura we show how some plasticity
rules can lead to invariant computations in balanced networks.

Just watched the session w/ P.Krauledat and M.Houghton who discuss the discovery of the Hepatitis C virus & its development into a blood test.The discovery of the virus by Dr Houghton et al. earned them the #2020NobelPrize (Physiology or Medicine). Thanks for uploading,@MITlinQ!
Happy to share that our PhD students Surbhit Wagle and Laura Bernaez Timon @BernaezLaura were awarded fellowships. Surbhit received a GRADE fellowship and Laura @BernaezLaura was admitted into the @Catalyst_Europe program.
Uncertainty is no reason for not acting, says Prof. Latif of @GEOMAR_de , talking about the predictions of scientist from the 19th century and the early 20th century on climate and the effect of CO2 on global warming.
If we want to change the course of climate change, we need to completely change our way of life, says Prof. Motiv Latif of @GEOMAR_de, one of Germany‘s most prominent experts on the topic. Joachim Herz Stiftung is very proud to host his lecture on our premises today.
