Welcome! My lab is interested in the computations and mechanisms that underlie various brain functions such as decision-making, working memory, and sensory processing. Our aim is to develop mathematical models that provide insight into these brain functions and closely match neurophysiological data. We apply quantitative methods from physics, computer science, and engineering to the study of neural systems. Funding is provided through a "Chaire d'excellence" of the French Research Agency (ANR) and the Emmy-Noether Program of the German Research Foundation (DFG).
