Neuroinformatics
Neuroinformatics is the emergent field that combines informatics and neuroscience. Neuroinformatics is related with neuroscience data and information processing by artificial neural networks. There are three main directions where neuroinformatics has to be applied: * the development of computational models of the nervous system and neural processes; * the development of tools for analyzing and modeling neuroscience data; and * the development of tools and databases for management and sharing of neuroscience data at all levels of analysis. Neuroinformatics encompasses philosophy (computational theory of mind), psychology (information processing theory), computer science (natural computing, bio-inspired computing), among others disciplines. Neuroinformatics doesn't deal with matter or energy, so it can be seen as a branch of neurobiology that studies various aspects of nervous systems. The term ''neuroinformatics'' seems to be used synonymously with cognitive informatics, described b ... [...More Info...] [...Related Items...] OR: [Wikipedia] [Google] [Baidu] |
Blue Brain
The Blue Brain Project was a Swiss brain research initiative that aimed to create a Artificial brain, digital reconstruction of the mouse brain. The project was founded in May 2005 by the Brain Mind Institute of ''École Polytechnique Fédérale de Lausanne'' (EPFL) in Switzerland. The project ended in December 2024. Its mission was to use biologically-detailed digital reconstructions and brain simulation, simulations of the mammalian brain to identify the fundamental principles of brain structure and function. The project was headed by the founding director Henry Markram—who also launched the European Human Brain Project—and was co-directed by Felix Schürmann, Adriana Salvatore and Sean Hill (scientist), Sean Hill. Using a Blue Gene supercomputer running Michael Hines's Neuron (software), NEURON, the simulation involved a biologically realistic model of neurons and an empirically reconstructed model connectome. There were a number of collaborations, including the Cajal Blue B ... [...More Info...] [...Related Items...] OR: [Wikipedia] [Google] [Baidu] |
