Biocomputation
The prevailing modern scientific paradigm of the brain is a computational one. But if the brain is a computer—which is an 'if'—it must have operating principles, abilities and limitations that are radically different to those of artificial computers. In this session, talks will explore diverse topics within quantitative neuroscience that consider the brain as a device for computation, broadly conceived.
