The network has been named after Julius Bernstein.

Welcome to the Bernstein Center for Computational Neuroscience Göttingen. It integrates research groups at the. Max Planck Institute for biophysical Chemistry. Max Planck Institute for experimental Medicine. Max Planck Institute for Dynamics and Self-Organization. The coordinator of the BCCN Goettingen.

The Bernstein Center Heidelberg-Mannheim investigates implications of genetic variations for neural information processing in psychiatric conditions. Central Institute of Mental Health Mannheim. Central Institute of Mental Health.

Computational Neuroscience combines experimental neuroscience with advanced data analysis, computer simulation, and mathematical modeling. On the basis of well-defined theoretical concepts, Computational Neuroscience provides a unifying scientific language and methodology that can be used across disciplines ranging from neurobiology to cognitive science, systems biology, and information technology. The center is part of National Bernstein Network for Computational Neuroscience.

Bernstein Center for Computational Neuroscience Tübingen. Neural mechanisms of perceptual inference. Our perception is not simply a copy of the sensory stimuli we receive, but an abstract interpretation of the world. Complex processing mechanisms, which combine the information of the sensory stimuli with specific knowledge about the physical properties of the world, enable this interpretation. An impressive illustration for this are Magic Eye pictures.
