Neuronal responses are inherently noisy. This noise arises from internal and also external noise sources and eventually limits an animal's behavioural performance.

• Where does this noise come from and how can the system deal with it?
• What are the consequences of the noise for neuronal computations?
• Processing of sensory information in the invertebrate visual system
• and the electrosensory system of the weakly electric fish

• in vivo  electrophysiological recordings of single neurons
• methods derived from information and signal detection theory combined with modelling approaches

Further interests:

• Development of the Laboratory Logbook (http://lablog.sourceforge.net/), a database software to store project related information as well as meta-information of acquired data.
