Prof. Andreas Herz

• computational neuroscience and cellular biophysics; focus on mechanosensory transduction;

• optimality and adaptation of sensory systems;

• acoustic communication, auditory processing and sexual selection;

• interaction of cell-intrinsic rhythms and large-scale oscillations;

• collective properties of neural networks.

In the past, I have also worked extensively in the fields of applied mathematics, statistical physics, game theory and theoretical immunology.

• We use methods from the theory of dynamical systems and probability theory to analyze and model electrophysiological data (partly
  

• We are also developing novel techniques to integrate real-time data analysis methods into neurobiological experiments.

Following my recent move from HU Berlin to LMU Munich in June 2008, I am currently setting up the lab and exploring new projects that will

combine my previous work with ongoing research at the BCCN Munich.
