Visual Cortex

Ján Antolík

The postdoctoral position is within the Computational Systems Neuroscience Group (CSNG) at Charles University, Prague, focusing on computational neuroscience and neuro-prosthetic system design. The project goals include developing a large-scale model of electrical stimulation in the primary visual cortex for neuro-prosthetic vision restoration, creating and refining models of the primary visual cortex and its electrical stimulation, simulating the impact of external stimulation on cortical activity, developing novel machine learning methods to link simulated cortical activity to expected visual perceptions, and developing stimulation protocols for neuro-prosthetic systems. This project is undertaken as a part of a larger consortium of Czech experimental and theoretical neuroscience teams.
