Dr. Stewart will be running workshops this week for anyone interested in learning how NENGO works and learning how to use NENGO to build their own neurocognitive models:
2:00 p.m. Tuesday (21st)
2:00 p.m. Wednesday (22nd)
10:00 a.m. Friday (24th)
Workshops will be held in room 5220 of the Visualization and Simulation Building (VSIM). Be sure to bring a laptop so you can participate in the tutorials using the NENGO software:
Dr Terry Stewart is an alumni of our program, (Ph.D 2007), and project manager at the Computational Neuroscience Research Group (CNRG) at the University of Waterloo. CNRG, headed by Dr. Chris Eliasmith, has developed NENGO (Neural ENGineering Objects), a Python-based platform for creating cognitive models using realistic, spiking neuron models.
CNRG has used NENGO to create the world’s largest functional brain simulation, SPAUN:
