Article: Efficient low-dimensional approximation of continuous attractor networks

I just published a (slightly modified) chapter of my thesis on arxiv, in which we show how to efficiently approximate the shapes of the steady states of the…

Article: Mapping the function of neuronal ion channels in model and experiment

After nearly three years, it’s finally out! https://elifesciences.org/content/6/e22152 Ion channel models are the building blocks of computational neuron models. Their biological fidelity is therefore crucial for the interpretation of…

Article: Multicontact Co-operativity in Spike-Timing–Dependent Structural Plasticity Stabilizes Networks

https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pmc/articles/PMC6041941 Excitatory synaptic connections in the adult neocortex consist of multiple synaptic contacts, almost exclusively formed on dendritic spines. Changes of dendritic spine shape and volume, a correlate…

Article: Algorithmic Composition of Melodies with Deep Recurrent Neural Networks

https://arxiv.org/abs/1606.07251 Published in the Proceedings of 1st Conference on Computer Simulation of Musical Creativity . A big challenge in algorithmic composition is to devise a model that is both easily…
