Systems and Computational Neuroscience

Manifold

Research on Systems and Computational Neuroscience in NBB strives to understand the fundamental principles of how the nervous system process information and uses it to flexibly guide behavior. To understand this, researchers at NBB take advantage of the recent progress in machine learning and artificial intelligence to both, deploy the most advanced methods to analyze and model neural dynamics and animal behavior, and also to find inspiration to generate hypothesis and develop new theories to understand them. Research in these areas span a wide variety of topics from questions related to the brain mechanisms of complex behaviors, the algorithmic operations implemented by neural circuits to theoretical research on the computational principles underlying neural and behavioral phenomena.
