Kurzinfo

I work in this multidisciplinary domain of brains, minds and machines, aiming to answer how complex behaviour arises from neuronal activity. I compare the neural networks of two organisations: biological versus artificial.

My focus is visual information processing: oscillating in-between psychophysics of visual perception and computational modelling of vision.
