I work on a large-scale network model for the In Silico Brain project. The eventual aim is to build a "neuroprosthesis": a detailed computer model of the thalamocortical system that engages in two-way communication with the real brain, via electronics or optogenetics, and thus restores lost function. My work so far has focused on the stimulus-response and information-processing aspects of the model -- and of the brains we hope it resembles.
