What came first: dynamical systems or computations? Probably neither, but it’s fun to study both.
Aleksejs Timčenko
Alex Timčenko decodes visual stimuli from brain data by following the latent neural trajectories of cell populations. He is a PhD student at Hertie AI and the IMPRS-MMFD graduate school, interested in how brain cell populations process dynamic visual information. Alex explores neural manifolds ideas, applying different dimensionality reduction techniques to neural data.
