Matthias Bethge

from Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

Matthias Bethge (born February 26, 1973 in Wolfsburg ) is a German neuroscientist.

Bethge studied physics and mathematics at the Georg-August University in Göttingen and was a graduate student at the Max Planck Institute for Flow Research in Göttingen . After graduating, he moved to the University of Bremen in 1998 , where he received his doctorate in 2003 with a thesis on "Codes and Goals of Neuronal Representations". He then did research as a postdoc in California at the Redwood Neuroscience Institute in Menlo Park (since 2005 Redwood Center for Theoretical Neuroscience at the University of California, Berkeley ). Since 2005 he has been working at the Max Planck Institute for Biological Cybernetics in Tübingen and in 2006 was awarded the first "Bernstein Prize for Computational Neuroscience".

Bethge has been a professor at the Eberhard Karls University of Tübingen since 2009 . He conducts research in the field of computational neuroscience and uses mathematical methods and psychophysical experiments to investigate image processing and its neural basis in the human brain.

Bethge is the coordinator of the Bernstein Center for Computational Neuroscience Tübingen . The center is part of the nationwide Bernstein network "Computational Neuroscience", which was founded in 2004 and is funded by the Federal Ministry of Education and Research. Together with his colleagues Leon A. Gatys and Alexander S. Ecker, he developed a “neural algorithm for artistic style” that can transform any photo motif into seemingly typical works by famous artists.
