Computational Neuroscience

Brown's undergraduate group at the intersection of brain, computer science, math and more.

01 · Mission

Our mission

The brain is the most complex system we know. Computational neuroscience asks how it computes — and gives us the maths, models and code to find out.

We bring together students from neuroscience, computer science, applied maths, cognitive science and physics.
