The Sprekeler Lab is located at the Technical University Berlin, in the midst of the exciting scientific landscape of Berlin. We are part of the Bernstein Center for Computational Neuroscience and the Cluster of Excellence "Science of Intelligence". Our scientific goal is to use mathematical and computational tools to understand how the brain processes information and thereby generates intelligent behavior, and to adopt the underlying principles to build artificial intelligent systems.
