Research Areas Computational neuroscience
Research focus We are using mathematical and information sciences methods to elucidate the mechanisms of advanced information processing in the brain, trying to understand brain functions from systems point of view. In addition to supplying mathematical foundations that are important to understand biological processes such as the thought process function, researchers are conducting basic research to understand the principles that will allow them to replicate brain functions through the use of computers.
