Visual Perception

Ján Antolík

A postdoctoral position within the Computational Systems Neuroscience Group (CSNG) at Charles University, Prague, focusing on computational neuroscience and neuro-prosthetic system design. The group explores the intricacies of the visual system, sensory coding, and neuro-prosthetic solutions using computational approaches such as large-scale biologically detailed spiking network models, firing-rate models of development, and modern machine learning techniques. The team is dedicated to understanding visual perception and its restoration via neuro-prosthetic devices. Multiple project topics are available and can be adjusted to the interest and background of the applicant, including modeling electrical stimulation in a spiking model of the primary visual cortex, deep-neural networks in visual neuroscience, study of cortical dynamics in the visual cortex, and biologically detailed spiking large-scale models of early visual cortical pathway from Retina to V4.
