Laboratory of Computational Neuroscience of Memory (CNM Lab).

Dr. Pablo E. Jercog is an independent researcher at the CNC, Alcalá de Henares, Spain. His research focuses on systems and computational neuroscience, particularly in learning and memory, employing techniques such as calcium imaging, electrophysiology and Machine Learning algorithms. Dr. Jercog earned his degree in physics from the University of Buenos Aires (2002), under the supervision of Dr. Gabriel Mindlin. His Phd was earned from New York University (2008) under the supervision of Dan Sanes and John Rinzel. During his first postdoc under the supervision of several Nobel laureates: Eric Kandel, May-Britt and Edvard Moser @ Columbia U, He published influential results about how and what type of information is encoded in the hippocampus (w/Larry Abbott). At a second postdoc @ Stanford, he demonstrated the limits of the accuracy of spatial information (w/Victor Minces, Surya Ganguli & Mark Schnitzer). Now he is modeling memory processes using reinforcement learning and AI.
