Andreea Lazar

Andreea Lazar is a Researcher at the Singer Lab, located at ESI-Frankfurt in Germany. Her work focuses on understanding how cortical networks process external stimuli and internally generated activity patterns, particularly exploring spontaneous activity's role in prediction, memory, and statistical learning. She employs both computational modeling and electrophysiological data from in vivo studies.

Her research interests span computational neuroscience, systems neuroscience, and learning mechanisms. Key topics include neural network dynamics, visual cortex processing, and the interplay between spontaneous activity and sensory-driven responses.

Publications highlight contributions to understanding neural variability, predictive coding, and Bayesian learning in recurrent networks. While no formal awards are listed, her work bridges theoretical models and experimental findings in neural systems.

Lazar collaborates within the Singer Lab, led by Prof. Wolf Singer, alongside researchers such as Igor Dubinin and Katharine Shapcott. The lab investigates fundamental principles of brain function, with a focus on cortical integration and sensory processing.
