Olfaction is a major research topic in sensory neuroscience. We study the neural computation underlying olfactory processing and multisensory integration in the insect brain combining experimental and computational modeling approaches. In biologically realistic neural network models we achieve the transformation from peripheral dense coding to efficient and multimodal sparse codes. Sparse coding is specifically important for the formation and retrieval of associative memories. Our models are based on and/or validated through experimental data.
