BIOE 332: Large-Scale Neural Modeling
Large-scale models link cellular properties, columnar microcircuits, recurrent connectivity, and feedback projections to experimentally studied behaviors such as selective attention and working memory. Emphasis is on making experimentally testable predictions by exploring spike-based communication and biophysics-based computation. Work in teams of two to implement models from the literature and develop models of your own. Run models with up to a million neurons in real-time on a special-purpose simulation platform developed at Stanford (Neurogrid). Spring, (Boahen, K.)
