Towards multi-level neuronal modeling of self-related processing and social behavior

Lars Schwabe

Neuronal systems operate at different spatial and temporal scales. One goal of modeling and simulating neuronal systems is to link processing at the single cell and population level to system level properties. We are interested in how the brain processes self-related sensory stimuli in order to uncover how it 
performs self-related and social tasks. These are examples of inherently system-level properties.
We present results of some of our modeling studies on the visual and vestibular system, and sketch how they can be used as building blocks for multi-level neuronal models, which ideally will be predictive for both brain-wide neuronal dynamics and human social behavior.
