Institution: Gran Sasso Science Institute, L'Aquila, Italy
Course type: PhD course
This course aims at rekindling the historical connection between neuroscience and computer science, exploring some of the algorithmic principles that underlie both brains and machines. Pioneering figures like von Neumann and Turing recognized this deep link, and we'll delve into the computational core of fundamental questions in neuroscience. We'll examine how neurons process information, leverage intricate connections, and potentially inspire new computational frameworks. By exploring how these biological algorithms underlie perception, action, and even language, we'll bridge the gap between brain and computation.
