Henning Sprekeler is Bernstein Professor of Modeling of Cognitive Processes. For SCIoI, he represents the analytical discipline computational neuroscience. He has extensive expertise in computational modelling of synaptic plasticity and its consequences for behavioural learning and the formation of memories. He has also worked on the self-organised development of high-level sensory representations, an essential prerequisite for intelligent behaviour.
