Multidisciplinary Research AreaBrain Networks[Overview] [Faculty] [Projects] [Courses] Brain Networks focuses on the application of the foundations of computing and systems to develop anatomically and physiologically correct models of brain networks. FacultyNancy Amato, Professor (Motion planning, computational biology, robotics, computational geometry, animation, CAD, VR, parallel and distributed computing, parallel algorithms, performance modeling, and optimization) Yoonsuck Choe, Associate Professor (Brain Networks Lab, Neural Intelligence Lab, Multi-scale modeling of mouse brain networks project, Topographica cortical map simulator project) Ricardo Gutierrez-Osuna, Associate Professor (Intelligent sensors, speech processing, face recognition, machine olfaction, neuromorphic computation, mobile robotics, pattern recognition, machine learning) John Keyser, Associate Professor (Geometric computing, graphics and visualization, simulation and modeling, and computer algebra) Lawrence Rauchwerger, Professor (Compilers for parallel and distributed computing, parallel and distributed C++ libraries, adaptive runtime optimizations, architectures for parallel computing) ProjectsThree-dimensional microscopes, capable of processing teravoxels of image data per day, are beginning to opening up the internal connectivity of brains of all species to measurement and modeling of brain architecture at a neuronal level of detail. A first instrument, the Knife-Edge Scanning Microscope, has been designed and is now operational within the Department. This project plans to produce the first detailed submicron 3D map of brain microstructure for a whole mammalian brain, that of the C57BL/6J mouse.
