Open PhD Position in Computational & Systems Neuroscience : 'Neuromodulatory control of predictive processing in visual cortical circuits'

We are recruiting a PhD student to work on neuromodulatory control of predictive processing in mouse vision, co-supervised by Ede Rancz (INMED) and myself.

Project Overview

This CENTURI project combines:

  • Computational modeling (spiking and normative models)
  • In vivo electrophysiology, imaging, behavior, and optogenetics
  • Investigation of how serotonin and noradrenaline shape prediction error signaling during sensory-motor mismatch

Candidate Profile

  • Motivated individual with a background in neuroscience or computational sciences
  • Experience in either experimental in vivo work or modeling (Python, neural networks)
  • Interest in working at the interface of theory and biology

Application Details

📄 Full project description 📬 Application form :rainbow_heart: We welcome applicants from all backgrounds and celebrate diversity and free creative thinking in our research environment.

Open PhD Position in Computational & Systems Neuroscience : 'Neuromodulatory control of predictive processing in visual cortical circuits'
SNUFA 2024
This online workshop brings together researchers in the fields of computational neuroscience, machine learning, and neuromorphic engineering to present their work and discuss ways of translating these findings into a better understanding of neural circuits. Topics include artificial and biologically plausible learning algorithms and the dissection of trained spiking circuits toward understanding neural processing. We have a manageable number of talks with ample time for discussions.

Le temps des sens
Dans le monde qui nous entoure, nous percevons le temps s’écouler de façon immuable et universelle. Pourtant, il existe un temps pour chaque sens. Laurent Perrinet (AMU) exposera la dynamique des réseaux de neurones et le temps particulier qui est associé à l’un de ces sens, la vision.
