About the Lab

This computational lab is under the Department of Neuroscience of the City University of Hong Kong. It was founded in February 2022.

This lab focuses on computational issues of Neuroscience. Those issues include:

  1. Computational Models for Basic Brain Science;
  2. Implementing Neural Phenomena in Machine Learning Algorithms; and
  3. Analyzing Neural Data by Data Science Algorithms.
Mathematical tools and numerical methods will be used to address the above issues. The ultimate goals of this lab are summarized in the following diagram.

Implementation of neural phenomena in machine learning algorithms will be helpful to understand the functional meaning of those phenomena. On the other hand, hopefully, the implementation will inspire innovations in machine learning. Also, we aim to see how advances in machine learning can help discoveries in Neuroscience.
