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.
