Dear all,

Unfortunately, Wulfram will not be able to give his presentation today.
He is at home with a bad cold and a weak voice.

He apologizes to everybody.

> Title: Synaptic Plasticity to Learning Rules: an approach of theoretical
> neuroscience
>
> Abstract: In this tutorial I will show what type of constraints
> experimental data set for biologically plausible learning rules and why
> inside these constraints we (as theoretical neuroscientists) have a lot of
> freedom to think about learning rules that are functionally relevant in
> learning paradigms. Taking examples from unsupervised learning,
> reinforcement learning, and surprise modulated learning I will point out
> potential links (and differences) to machine learning approaches.

> Tubingen and Munich and received a PhD from the Technical University of
> Munich. His research in computational neuroscience concentrates on models

> neuronal coding in single neurons and populations, as well as on the role
> of spatial representation for navigation of rat-like autonomous agents. He
> currently has a joint appointment at the School of Life Sciences and the
> School of Computer and Communications Sciences at the EPFL. He teaches
> courses for Physicists, Computer Scientists, Mathematicians, and Life
> Scientists.
