Computational Neuroscience & Neural Computation

by Renato Duarte (CNC UC)

Wednesday 5 Mar 2025, 14:00 → 15:00 Portugal

Sala de Conferências (Departamento de Física FCTUC)

The collective dynamics of neural circuits is inherently computational: it encodes, stores and processes information via complex and distributed electrochemical interactions. In this talk, I will give an overview of how to formalize the links between brain, cognition and behavior and understand neural computation as the product of an adaptive biophysical system. I will demonstrate how the dynamics of neural circuits can be used to compute, how this view explains cognitive function and how different biophysical elements and processes contribute to cortical computation.
