Frederic Alexander Roemschied I'm a PhD scholar of the Research Training Group “Sensory Computation in Nervous Systems” at the BCCN Berlin. I investigate how small poikilothermic nervous systems can compensate for temperature effects on neuronal function. I work with conductance based neuron models and data from electrophysiological recordings.

Research Focus We investigate neural processing from single cells to networks. In particular, we would like to understand how neurons are optimized for their computational task. Therefore, we investigate the relationship between intrinsic neuronal properties and the signaling mechanisms shaped by them, as well as their relevance for network behavior. The aim is to link the molecular level of ion channels to characteristics of neuronal firing, focusing on topics like information trans…

Research Our passion is to uncover principles of neural computation across species and systems. More specifically, my lab’s research is driven by two major interests: (1) We are convinced that neurons are not just simple units whose function is to integrate inputs. Admittedly, the striking success of artificial neural networks in solving complex tasks is grounded on learning processes that adjust connectivity weights in networks of simplified neurons that sum inputs. Yet these approaches usua…
