to </span><span lang="NL" style="font-size:11pt;font-family:Arial">develop (deep) spiking neural networks for
video interpretation. This project is an interdisciplinary collaboration
between the Neuroinformatics group at CWI (the Netherlands Center for
Mathematics and Computer Science), with dr Sander Bohte, and the Visual
Cognitive Neuroscience group at University of Amsterdam (dr H. Steven Scholte
and dr Sennay Ghebreab). This aim of the research is to develop effective
next-generation neural networks based on neural spike coding (e.g. Bohte, NIPS
2012) that efficiently implement state-of-the-art models of the visual system. </span></p>

buildings in one of Europe's most beautiful and lively cities, and direct
access to high-end computing facilities. Moreover, since Amsterdam is a very
international city where almost everybody speaks and understands English,
candidates need not be afraid of the language barrier.</span></p>
