Computing Community Consortium Blog

The goal of the Computing Community Consortium (CCC) is to catalyze the computing research community to debate longer range, more audacious research challenges; to build consensus around research visions; to evolve the most promising visions toward clearly defined initiatives; and to work with the funding organizations to move challenges and visions toward funding initiatives. The purpose of this blog is to provide a more immediate, online mechanism for dissemination of visioning concepts and community discussion/debate about them.

Computing Innovation in Neuroscience: Post from a CIFellow Alumnus

April 8th, 2014 / in Uncategorized / by Ann Drobnis

The following is a special contribution to this blog by Ian Stevenson. Stevenson was a 2011-2013 Computing Innovation Fellow (CIFellow) at the Redwood Center for Theoretical Neuroscience at the University of California at Berkeley. He is now an Assistant Professor at the University of Connecticut in the Department of Psychology. In 1939 Nobel Prize winner E.D. Adrian started off one of his famous papers by saying, “Although it is easy to demonstrate the electrical activity of the brain we are still some way from understanding the full meaning of our records.” 75 years later this could still be the lede of just about any paper in neuroscience. A key challenge of “understanding the […]
