>> Hi everyone,
>>
>> tomorrow we will have a guest tutorial on neuroscience by Prof. Wulfram
>> Gerstner. Here is the detail!
>>
>> Who:    Wulfram Gerstner
>> When:  Nov. 22 (Tuesday) 3PM-5PM
>> Where: AA6214
>>
>> 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.
>>
>> Bio: Wulfram Gerstner is Director of the Laboratory of Computational
>> Neuroscience LCN at the EPFL. He studied physics at the universities of
>> Tubingen and Munich and received a PhD from the Technical University of
>> Munich. His research in computational neuroscience concentrates on models
