Welcome!

You have landed at the website of Anna Levina (Martius).  As of 2017, I am starting my research group in Tübingen University. My research interests lay in the area roughly situated between mathematics, physics and neuroscience, tapping from time to time in all of those. My goal is to uncover origins of brain computational powers and use the knowledge to optimize machine learning algorithms.
