Fauth-Lab

Welcome to the Fauth-Lab

We are a research group at the University of Göttingen focused on computational neuroscience. Our work explores how the brain's physical and self-organizing properties give rise to learning, memory, and intelligent behavior. We use a combination of theoretical modeling, computer simulations, and data analysis to investigate these questions across multiple scales, from molecules to networks.
