SFB1315 Events

Dendritic balance, predictive processing and synaptic learning

June 10, 2025 4:00 pm CET | BCCN Lecture Hall Philippstraße 13, 10115 | ZOOM ID: 7754910236
Our brains can learn a model about the world by continuously making predictions, and comparing the prediction from this inner model with the outcome from the world. In case of a mismatch, the error can be used to update the model in principle. These conceptual ideas date back to Helmholtz. But how is such learning realized on the neuronal level?.. read more.

Join our social after the talk, in the BCCN courtyard.
Certificate of attendance: Please contact team assistant serenella.brinati.1(at)hu-berlin.de

GEM 2025 - Generative Episodic Memory

June 2–4, 2025 | Ruhr University Bochum | Universitätsstraße 150, 44801 Bochum
Starting today! Episodic memories are widely regarded as memories of personally experienced events. Early concepts about episodic memory were based on the storage model, according to which experiential content is preserved in memory and later retrieved. However, overwhelming empirical evidence suggests that the content of episodic memory is – at least to a certain degree – constructed in the act of remembering. [...] Read more here >>
