Madeny Belkhiri has been prolonged for 1 year as postdoc in Kvitsiani Group

Madeny will work to uncover how brain builds abstract, nonlinear representations and how those representations drive behaviour. To achieve this objective, the research aims to extract principles behind circuit level cortical computations by monitoring activity of genetically identified cell-types in mice solving auditory non-linear classification task. However, in order to fully understand computations performed by cortical circuits, experimental data will be used to build biologically plausible neural network models solving similar tasks.
