The CNS program was established in 1986 with goal of training Ph.D. students who are interested in exploring the relationship between the structure of neuron-like circuits/networks and the computations performed in such systems, whether natural or synthetic. Examples are learning and adaptation, as well as the neurobiology, psychophysics and computational principles underlying sensory systems, in particular vision and olfaction. The program fosters the exchange of ideas and collaboration among engineers, neuroscientists, and theoreticians.
