Biography

Dr Hennig employs statistical, computational and mathematical modelling to investigate stability and processing in neuronal circuits. With a background in physics, Dr. Hennig moved into neuroscience during his PhD, investigating models of the vertebrate retina. Supported by a MRC Career Development Award, his group has recently produced algorithms for primary data analysis for extracellular recordings, and has uncovered principles of circuit-remodelling in chronic recordings from large neuronal networks. Current projects include population coding in the retina, data-driven investigation of cortical circuits in rodent models of neurodevelopmental disorder models, and development of efficient inference methods for large scale neuronal circuit analysis.
