Description du sujet de thèse
Title: modelling spatial information processing along the dorsal pathway of the primate visual pathway using spiking neural networks
Description: the aim of this PhD project is to model the processing of spatial information (depth, motion,…) within the visual system of primate and in particular along the dorsal pathway. This modeling will be carried out using data collected by event-based cameras and spiking neural networks.
The selected candidate should wish to work on an interdisciplinary project combining computational neuroscience, neurobiology and computer science. He/she must also have a solid background in programming and artificial intelligence, solid theoretical knowledge of the nervous system and a good level of English.
Contexte de travail
The thesis work will be carried out at the Cerco laboratory (CNRS, UMR 5549) under the co-supervision of Benoit Cottereau and Timothée Masquelier. It will be carried out in collaboration with IPAL laboratory (IRL 2955 in Singapore) and the National University of Singapore (NUS). The doctoral student will be required to collaborate with researchers, engineers ans students from these three entities. He/she will be enrolled in the CLESCO doctoral school (https://www.univ-tlse3.fr/comportement-langages-education-socialisation-cognition) in the specialty 'Neurosciences, behavior and cognition'.
