As a high school student passionate about computational neuroscience, how can I get a comprehensive look at the state of the field today?

04 April 2016 0 2K Report

I've done lots of reading and have a good sense of some different approaches, perspectives, and modern techniques, but want to broaden this and make sure I'm not missing things important.

How to design a Statistically Optimal Elevator Algorithm?

For a single elevator building: Consider a set of floors {C_i} such that the time it takes to travel between floors T(i,j) = k|i-j| for some constant k. Furthermore, let the presses on up and...

Would it make sense to use eigenvectors for object detection problems?

I need to build a tool for detecting where in an image certain objects are located. The objects are quite irregular – they are fruit flies – and need to be detected at close to pixel perfect...

Proteins as dynamical networks?

It struck me a few days ago as I was fiddling with this toy that proteins (and in fact other physical structures) could be thought of as mechanical analogues of neural networks. (It turns out some...

How to understand distributed computation in neuronal networks?

The past few weeks I've been analyzing the particular solutions generated by my ANN. I've seen that even for simple tasks like a delayed XOR function the solutions can be highly convoluted and...

Where would I start developing a neuronal model in which certain neurons learn to respond to specific input patterns?

I'm not an expert in the field of systems neuroscience and I'm having a little trouble in formulating a concrete set of steps to answer a question I had this morning. I'm interested in building...

Has there ever been work done to analyze the distribution of solutions artificial RNNs generate to solve a particular task?

My greater goal is to develop a theoretical framework for analyzing computation and information flow in dynamical neuronal networks (of the sort found in the brain). I need a place to start, so...

Can you give some quantitative examples of distinct computational functions different neuronal circuitries can perform?

I've been doing lots of linear analysis on some neural activity series I obtained and am looking to go a level deeper to look at the inherent nonlinearities in my data. To begin my approach, I'd...
