The objective is to develop network models of the mammalian auditory
cortex on the basis of a broad data base of physiological observations
from our laboratory. Based on the spectral-temporal filter properties
of neurons and their spatial distribution in the cortex, consequences
for the cortical representation of complex signals (such as animal
vocalizations and speech) shall be evaluated. Previous experience in
signal processing and self-organizing or other neural network classes
is required.
Christof and I are both members of the Keck Center for Integrative
Neuroscience at UCSF, a group of 10 faculty working on systems
neuroscience including Michael Stryker, Michael Merzenich, Steve
Lisberger, Allison Doupe, Alan Basbaum, Roger Nicoll, Howard Fields,
and Henry Ralston. The postdoc will work in the Keck Center, and
both I and Christof will be available to work closely with them.
