This thesis addresses one of the most fundamental challenges for modern science: how can the brain as a network of neurons process information, how can it create and store internal models of our world, and how can it infer conclusions from ambiguous data? The author addresses these questions with the rigorous language of mathematics and theoretical physics, an approach that requires a high degree of abstraction to transfer results of wet lab biology to formal models. The thesis starts with an in-depth description of the state-of-the-art in theoretical neuroscience, which it subsequently uses as a basis to develop several new and ... Read more

About Mihai Alexandru Petrovici
Mihai Petrovici started studying Physics at the University of Heidelberg in 2001. During his early undergraduate days, he worked on particle tracking for the ALICE experiment at CERN. For his diploma thesis, he moved to solid state physics, where he studied glasses at low temperatures. He began his PhD in 2008 in the Electronic Vision(s) group of Karlheinz Meier and ... Read more
