<span style="font-size:12.0pt;color:#212121">Biological systems learn differently than current machine learning systems, with generally higher sample efficiency but also strong inductive biases. The scientist will explore the effects which bio-realistic neurons,
plasticity rules and architectures have on learning in artificial neural networks. This will be done by combining construction of artificial neural network with bio-inspired constraints.<o:p></o:p></span></p>
