About me
I am Dr. Lisa Schmors currently a postdoc at the Hertie Institute for AI in Brain Health in Tübingen, Germany.
Research Interests
I completed my Ph.D. at the intersection of Computer Science and Neuroscience from the International Max Planck Research School for Intelligent Systems. My research focuses on using mathematical models and statistical tools to explore how the brain represents and processes information. My primary focus revolves around analyzing brain data to gain a comprehensive understanding of neuronal functioning at both the single-cell and circuit levels. This spans essential aspects of brain function such as feedforward and feedback processing, as well as examining how information is represented in different cell types.
