The Computational Neuroscience of Sensory Systems group belongs to the Vision Institute in Paris (INSERM/CNRS/UPMC). We are also affiliated to Ecole des Neurosciences de Paris. We have been supported by ANR, ERC and FRM.

We are working on three research themes: 1) single neuron modeling, in particular neural excitability; 2) sensory systems; 3) technologies for neural network simulation and electrophysiology.
