> 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.
