Institute of Neural Information Processing

Prof. Dr. Günther Palm

I studied mathematics at the Universities of Hamburg and Tübingen. After my graduation in mathematics I worked at the Max-Planck-Institute for Biological Cybernetics in Tübingen on the topics of nonlinear systems, associative memory and brain theory. In 1983/84 I was a fellow at the Wissenschaftskolleg in Berlin. From 1988 to 1991 I was professor for theoretical brain research at the University of Düsseldorf. From 1991 to 2016 I was professor for computer science and head of the Department of Neural Information Processing at the University of Ulm. I am working on information theory, neural networks, associative memory and Hebbian cell assemblies.
