In computational neuroscience and neuroinformatics we study how the brain processes information. A major goal is to understand how, in contrast to most computer systems, the brain is so robust and adaptive. These insights will be important to build better future hardware and software. At the same time, tools from informatics such as image analysis, computer simulation, and machine learning are essential to accelerate neuroscientific discovery.FacultyMemberResearch interestsDavid WillshawComputational models of development of the nervous systemPeggy SerièsComputational Psychiatry.
