CoCoNUT is born!

I have co-initiated a new interest group on cognitive computational neuroscience at the Max Planck Institute in Leipzig.
We consist of students, post-docs and group leaders from different departments and research groups across the whole institute. While we all have different backgrounds and areas of research, we are united in our endeavour to advance mechanistic discovery in cognitive neuroscience using computational tools.
At our meetings, members present their own research or research ideas, relevant papers (journal club), methods & concrete implementations. Further, we also have meetings where we discuss mechanisms, causality or related topics on a more conceptual level (philosophical discourse).

I am visiting Thomas Yeo’s lab in Singapore!
Sep
29
From 25th Sept until 25th October, I am a visiting researcher in Prof. BT Thomas Yeo’s Computational Brain Imaging Group in Singapore. With him, I will be working on new and more unbiased ways of mining the cognitive neuroimaging literature and how to evaluate existing top-down cognitive ontologies using neuroadaptive Bayesian optimization.
Super exciting stuff and I am very grateful for having this opportunity!
My PhD work is featured in WIRED!

There is a long article in WIRED magazine this month describing my PhD work:
This AI could hold the key to decoding human intelligence
I love this part:
Minutes later, Lorenz shows me a graph of Violante’s activity across different brain networks for each of the tests. It looks like one of Mark Rothko’s colourful paintings.
…. sounds like I am also doing some serious art business on the side!
