Statistical Mechanics of Spiking Neural Networks
Seminar SS 2011/12
Agenda: In the last semester, we have covered a set of seminar papers
on the dynamics of spiking neural networks with an emphasis on asynchronous
states and oscillations. This semester, we will use this knowledge to understand
more dynamic phenomena that occur in spiking neural networks.
Format: The seminar will consist of blackboard talks, given
by PhD students/PostDocs/Profs. Each topic will be covered in two
subsequent seminar dates and by a team of two people, to make it
easier and more enjoyable to run through the (in places challenging)
theory. A list of topics and papers is given below.
Time & Place: Wednesday, 10-12h, Seminar room of the ITB
Preliminary schedule: The first two weeks are already scheduled. Topics for the weeks thereafter will be distributed in the first seminar on Wednesday, 11.4.2012.
