I am interested to understand how the brain works and how we can create a general artificial intelligence.

Upload Expertise.

Teaching Computers To See

How are visual stimuli represented in the brain and can we leverage these representations to improve artificial neural networks? We are recording fMRI images of subjects presented with images of birds to investigate whether the representations in lay persons differ from bird experts.

A new way of spiking.

Training Spiking Networks

In this project we developed a new way to train leaky integrate and fire neurons to solve machine learning problems in a biologically plausible way.

Evolution of sparsity.

Evolving Neural Networks

We train small neural networks with an evolutionary algorithm.
