Spike-timing-dependent plasticity (STDP) Neuronal coding Hippocampal models Wulfram Gerstner (born 1963 in Heilbronn) is a German and Swiss computational neuroscientist.

He then joined the theoretical biophysics group of William Bialek at University of California, Berkeley as a visiting researcher.

[3] He received his PhD in theoretical physics from the Technical University of Munich in 1993 under supervision from Leo van Hemmen.

[10] He also investigates models of the hippocampus and their application in the spatial representation for navigation of rat-like autonomous agents.

[11] He is also one of the initiators of The Deep Artificial Composer (DAC), a deep-learning algorithm that can generate melodies by imitating a given style of music.
