Many computing luminaries, such as Steve Jobs or Bill Gates, have an early experience in common -- an engaging experience in middle school or high school that sparked an excitement for learning everything they could about computers. Today, many young people are surrounded by computing at home and in school, and some of them will likely find a similar passion that will lead them to push tomorrow's frontiers in computer science.

No two roses smell exactly alike, but our brain accurately bundles these variations into a single percept 'rose'. The authors now report that although olfactory bulb neurons decorrelate odor mixtures that are quite similar, piriform cortex neuronal responses show pattern completion and predict olfactory perception.

What You Will Find Here

• Computational Neuroscience approaches the understanding of information content within neural signals via modelling of nervous system to biologically describe what neurons do, how neural circuits function anatomically as well as physiologically, and why the nervous system operate in such a manner, the behavioural and cognitive significance based on computational and information-theoretic principles.
• The cells of nervous system and how information is processed within them is at Neurobiology.
• The unification of psychological manifestation of cognitive processes with neuroscience is Cognitive Neuroscience.
• We also explore the neural substrates of Decision Making and Memory.
• The modelling of complex relationships between inputs and outputs to discover patterns in data using Artificial Neural Network is based on its adaptive structure reacting to information flow within the system.
• Tutorials, books and research papers are on Resource.
• Please put example code in Snippet.
