Subject: Next Math-neuro presentation
Dear Math-Neuro group,
This message to remind you that a math-neuro session is exceptionally planned tomorrow, *October the 1st (Thursday)*, 4-6 PM, room 4106 of Pavillon Paul-G. Desmarais, Université de Montréal.
Please, check out the map: http://maps.google.com/maps/ms?client=safari&oe=UTF-8&ie=UTF8&hl...
Chris Eliasmith (University of Waterloo) will be giving an exciting talk entitled "*How to build a brain: From single cells to cognition.*" (see the abstract below)
Please, join us for the stimulating discussion...
Best regards,
David
Abstract:
A central goal of theoretical neuroscience is to develop methods that allow us to connect high-level hypotheses about brain function to specific, detailed neural mechanisms that can be compared to neural data. In this talk I will present the Neural Engineering Framework (NEF), which we have developed to address this goal. I will demonstrate how the framework relates to detailed physiological data, and how it aids the construction of complex, large-scale spiking neural models. I will discuss its application to perceptual, motor, and cognitive modelling using specific examples. Finally, I will provide a brief introduction to Nengo, the GUI software environment we have developed that implements the principles of the NEF.
