The Office of the Vice President for Research is excited to host a 1-hour event to kick-off the Neuroscience & Computing Initiative: Computational Principles at the Interface Between Biological and Artificial Systems.
The primary goal of this event is to foster a collaborative and interdisciplinary community of researchers dedicated to advancing the field of neuroscience, computing, and its intersection. Rajeev Balasubramonian and Jim Heys will present on the two main pillars of this initiative:
- Neuromorphic Computing explores the design of efficient systems that can execute neural functionality at extremely low budgets for power, energy, cost, and latency.
- Principles of Computational Neuroscience focuses on understanding how the brain processes information, learns, and generates behavior through the lens of mathematical models and algorithms. This theme emphasizes the powerful synergy between advanced computational tools from computer science—such as machine learning, optimization, and dynamical systems—and new experimental methods that allow us to measure and manipulate brain activity and behavior at unprecedented temporal and spatial scales.
