Computer simulation of temporal dynamics in the cerebellum
The cerebellum is a large brain structure that is important for proper execution of movements. Evidence suggests that the role of the cerebellum is making feed-forward predictions, that it uses learning to improve these predictions based on experience, and the temporal coding is a key aspect of...

On the limits of the quantum superposition principle: the role of the internal particle states
Quantum physics is one of the best-confirmed models of nature, and yet our common sense is challenged when we try to understand the quantum superposition of classically mutually exclusive states.  A series of recent experiments in Vienna has therefore been targeting the spatial superposition of isolated...

Photodetachment Dynamics and Dissociative Photodetachment
Molecular anions are exotic species that exhibit a wide range of chemical and photophysical phenomena. In this talk experimental studies of two molecular anions will be discussed: HOCO’? and NO2′?. The first half of the talk will focus on using the photodetachment of the hydroxycarbonyl anion,...
