Interview with Elena Galea

The Virtual Brain project aims to support the simulation of whole brain models. Here we discuss the state of the art and the challenges TVB is facing.

Touch, the brain and the advanced experimental paradigms and models Vincent pursues to understand both.

The self-organization of the neocortex following epigenetic principles. Stewart aims to understand the nature of this interaction between brain and behaviour by allowing models of map self-organisation to guide the movement of simulated animal bodies.

New developments at the intersection of neuroscience and information technology have the potential to be socially and ethically disruptive. We discuss with Christine ideas of social responsibility in science.

The predictive coding framework departs from the divide of perception, cognition, and action, and provides a unifying framework in which the organism minimizes surprise. In the podcast we discuss the implications of this framework.
