Katharina Anna Wilmes
I am part of the GRK 'Sensory Computation in Neural Systems' investigating how the brain regulates whether incoming sensory information is being learned, i.e. leads to the modification of neural synapses. I investigate this question on a cellular level, using biophysical models of neurons.
