Understanding cortical processing: Neuronal activity and learning in recurrently connected networks. This project addresses fundamental cross-disciplinary issues of information processing and control in large-scale biological neural systems. This is an area of research that is at the cutting edge of intelligent processing systems. An understanding of these mechanisms would have considerable implications in areas that span a range of complex biological and artificial neural systems, including the ....Understanding cortical processing: Neuronal activity and learning in recurrently connected networks. This project addresses fundamental cross-disciplinary issues of information processing and control in large-scale biological neural systems. This is an area of research that is at the cutting edge of intelligent processing systems. An understanding of these mechanisms would have considerable implications in areas that span a range of complex biological and artificial neural systems, including the rapidly growing fields of robotics, machine learning, and adaptive control, all with applications in diverse areas of economic importance. The project will provide students with training at an international level within Australia, thus helping ensure Australia maintains and extends its science and technology base.Read moreRead less
