Competition and cortex in Sardinia

28th February, 2013

This year at Capo Caccia we will be talking about what forms of computation exist in cortex and how they are implemented, exploring whether competition in cortex can explain high-level representations of visual objects, and thinking about ways to maintain state with cortical oscillations.

Workshops at Capo Caccia 2012

Competition and cortex in Sardinia
