Levin Kuhlmann

I have been studying neuroscience, computational neuroscience, and neuroengineering since 1996. My research career primarily began when I completed my honours thesis involving modeling of cochlear nucleus neurons of the auditory (i.e. hearing) pathway. In particular, I studied the effects of the delay of auditory nerve fibre activation across the basilar membrane on the temporal response of cochlear nucleus neurons. I did my honours at the Bionic Ear Institute, Melbourne, Australia, and my supervisor was Anthony Burkitt.

My PhD then followed in the Department of Cognitive and Neural Systems at Boston University, Boston, USA. My dissertation was on the neural modeling of visual depth perception, in particular three-dimensional shape-from-texture. My supervisors were Ennio Mingolla and Stephen Grossberg.

Currently, I am a postdoctoral research fellow of the Neuroengineering Group in the Department of Electrical and Electronic Engineering, at the University of Melbourne, Melbourne, Australia. My research project is focused on seizure detection and prediction in epileptics, through quantitative analysis of intracranial and scalp electroencephalographic (EEG) signals (i.e. brain waves). My primary supervisors are Anthony Burkitt, David Grayden, and Iven Mareels.
