In collaboration with the Group of Behavioural Physiology and the Bernstein Center for Computational Neuroscience


With Martin Stemmler, Bernhard Ronacher, Hans-Peter Herzel and Andreas V. M. Herz we work on the optimality of phase response curves (PRC's) in the auditory pathway of grasshoppers.

Theoretical Neurobiology:

Nervous systems are of utter inordinate complexity. It is astonishing to see the complex behaviour of animals - how reliably and effciently they manuver through their environment - implemented in their neural architecutre and dynamics. The idea that such complexity can itself arise out of simple rules is fabulous and extraordinary. The evolution of neurvous systems is a wonderful field to study. There is so much dynamics on various time scales that it simply yearns for interesting, nonintuitive phenomena.
