Offer Description
We're pleased to announce a postdoctoral position within the Computational Systems Neuroscience Group (CSNG) at Charles University, Prague, focusing on computational neuroscience and neuro-prosthetic system design. CSNG is an international, interdisciplinary research group that explores the intricacies of the visual system, sensory coding, and neuro-prosthetic solutions. To do this, we use a range of computational approaches spanning large-scale biologically detailed spiking network models, firing-rate models of development, and modern machine learning techniques. We are a diverse team of computer scientists, physicists, mathematicians, and engineers dedicated to understanding visual perception and its restoration via neuro-prosthetic devices.
Multiple project topics are available (the exact topic can be adjusted to the interest and background of the applicant):
- Modeling electrical stimulation in a spiking model of the primary visual cortex. The goal of this project is to understand how intra-cortical stimulation engages the neural code of the visual cortex.
- Deep-neural networks in visual neuroscience and possibly its applications for understanding of visual perception under artificial cortical stimulation.
- Study of cortical dynamics of spontaneous or artificially evoked activity in the visual cortex.
- Biologically detailed spiking large-scale models of early visual cortical pathway - from Retina to V4.
