The release of the official call will be after the completion of the administration process, however, interested applicants can send us their application as instructed below. The overarching research theme of the CMC Lab is understanding the computational machinery that supports our cognitive processes. Cognition spans a wide range of functions (from perception to action and planning), and it is one of the most remarkable capabilities of the brain. In the CMC lab, we want to understand the computations (in particular, inference, and decision processes) that support our cognition and the biophysical machinery that implements these computations. We develop normative and biophysical modeling of cognitive functions, test these models with neural and behavioral data (in collaboration with experimental labs), and develop methods for multi- and cross-scale analysis of neural data to better capture the neural markers of these processes. We value the culture of collaboration, thus we extensively collaborate with labs in Dresden and other labs nationally and internationally (e.g., MPI for Biological Cybernetics and MPI for Intelligent Systems, Harvard Medical School). The project will focus on developing reinforcement learning (RL) models to understand internal cognitive processes (in particular perception, and perceptual multistability; for example, see, Safavi and Dayan, Neuron 2022 and BioRxiv 2024 ). In the course of the project, we, together, will develop decision-theoretic models, for instance, based on partially observable Markov decision processes (POMDP), and assess them with psychophysical experiments, and will have the possibility to analyze neural data recorded from animals while doing similar tasks to understand the neural implementation of these computations. We will also collaborate with Peter Dayan (MPI for Biological Cybernetics) and Philipp Sterzer (University of Basel).

Our work encompasses three key areas relevant for epilepsy research: pre-clinical studies on post-traumatic epilepsy, analysis of tissue samples from epilepsy surgery resections, and prediction of drug-resistant epilepsies in newly diagnosed patients. In pre-clinical studies, we utilize advanced image computation techniques coupled with modern machine learning methods to understand the progression of post-traumatic epilepsy. For surgical resections, we apply computational methods to analyze tissue samples, aiming to identify potential biomarkers and unravel the pathophysiology of difficult-to-treat epilepsies. Additionally, we are starting to develop machine learning models to predict drug resistance in epilepsy, which could significantly enhance treatment paths for newly diagnosed patients. Our research aims to bridge the gap between computational neuroscience and clinical applications, offering new insights in epilepsy management. > > Bio: Jussi Tohka, PhD, is a Full Professor of Biomedical Image Analysis and head of Biomedical Image Analysis Group at A.I.

We were pleased to see such strong participation, both in person and online. To accommodate participants' feedback (especially regarding conference conflicts) we are now scheduling the second session for a date between May 8 and 15, 2025. This session will be led by Dr. Zhengchen Cai and will offer a hands-on introduction to software for Bayesian modeling, designed to be accessible to participants from any background. Topics include: - Simulation-based prior selection - Posterior sampling with Markov Chain Monte Carlo - Practical implementation in the Stan ecosystem - Model diagnostics Please indicate your availability by May 1 using the following poll: https://savvycal.com/p/aliobaibk/0757ed52 As before, the seminar will be held in hybrid format (in person + Zoom). The full seminar series abstract can also be viewed here: Read the abstract Materials from the first session will be shared in a separate follow-up email in the coming days.
