Brain-inspired multiscale computation in neuromorphic hybrid systems (BrainScaleS)

Start date: Jan 1, 2011, End date: Mar 31, 2015,

The BrainScaleS project aims at understanding function and interaction of multiple spatial and temporal scales in brain information processing. The fundamentally new approach of BrainScaelS lies in the in-vivo biological experimentation and computational analysis. Spatial scales range from individual neurons over larger neuron populations to entire functional brain areas. Temporal scales range fro ...

The role of striatum in selection of behaviour and motor learning - neuronal code, microcircuits and modelling (Select-and-act)

Start date: Aug 1, 2008, End date: Jan 31, 2012,

The input layer of the basal ganglia, the striatum, plays a critical role in the control of motor behaviour and cognitive function. It serves as a filter for cortical and thalamic signals and takes part in determining which actions should be performed at a given instant. Our goal is to define the cellular and network organisation underlying decision-making by analysing the microcircuitry of subpop ...

Life-like Artefact for Motor-Postural Experiments and Development of new Control Technologies inspired by Rapid Animal locomotion (LAMPETRA)

Start date: Feb 1, 2008, End date: Jul 31, 2011,

The objective of the LAMPETRA proposal is developing lamprey/salamander bioinspired artefacts to perform neuroscientific studies related to goal-directed locomotion and to find new solutions for high-performance artificial locomotion, in terms of fast-response, adaptability, reliability, energy efficiency, and control. These issues will be pursued by implementing a bio-inspired artificial system ( ...

Biologically inspired computation for chemical sensing (NEUROCHEM)

Start date: Jan 1, 2008, End date: Jun 30, 2011,

Biological olfaction outperforms chemical instrumentation in specificity, response time, detection limit, coding capacity, time stability, robustness, size, power consumption, and portability. This biological function provides outstanding performance due, to a large extent, to the unique architecture of the olfactory pathway, which combines a high degree of redundancy, an efficient combinatorial c ...
