Dynamical Neuroscience

 About the DYNS Program

Dynamical Neuroscience is an interdisciplinary field focused on the study of how the nervous system generates perception, behavior and cognition. A complete understanding of behavior and brain function requires a multifaceted approach that includes the construction of formal computational models that can be tested against neural recordings of cells, circuits and large-scale neural networks. It is a computational approach that goes beyond traditional structure/function correlations. Its subdisciplines include areas such as molecular and cellular biology, circuit neurobiology, computational modeling, machine learning, artificial intelligence, and network analysis.
