Helmut Schmidt is currently research fellow at the Institute of Computer Science of the Czech Academy of Sciences.
The main research topics:
Helmut Schmidt’s research focuses on computational techniques to understand and reproduce the dynamics of biological neural networks, ranging from small-scale networks to the entire (human) brain. While the mainstay of this effort is computational modelling of neuronal circuits, he is also interested in developing new methods for time series analysis, especially model-based data analysis. Applications encompass neuronal information processing (working memory, language acquisition) as well as disorders of large-scale neuronal networks, especially epilepsy.
