Seminar Series on Theoretical Neuroscience
This spring, the Redwood Neuroscience Institute, in collaboration with Stanford University, will host five public lectures on the Stanford campus by leading thinkers in theoretical neuroscience. Despite decades of research and general progress in experimental neuroscience, we still don't have an overall theory of how our brains work. In this series we have asked the speakers to share their perspective on this problem and to give their outlook on the development of a brain theory.
