I am currently pursuing a Master’s degree in Neural Systems and Computation, jointly offered by ETH Zurich and the University of Zurich within the Institute of Neuroinformatics. My scientific experiences range from understanding and developing new strategies to record neuronal activity during my research stay in California, to analysing neural signals such as EEG and LFP in humans and songbirds, and finally to more theoretical work on energy-efficient neural codes for my Master’s thesis in Bern. I feel that the two main families of research approaches are becoming increasingly separated today. On one side, there is the top-down approach: trying to understand the whole system by making everything bigger, using more data and building larger models. Throughout my journey, however, I realized that I am more drawn to the bottom-up approach : select a specific aspect, introduce assumptions and simplifie the system. In other words, study small but complex.
