National Initiatives

We are responsible for this “ANR Internal White Project” involving Mnemosyne and Neuromathcomp Inria Project-Teams in France with the U. of Valparaiso, U. Tecnica Frederico Santa-Maria, and U. Chile. The project addresses the integration of non-standard behaviors of retinal neural sensors, observed in natural conditions, into neural coding models and their translation into real, highly non-linear, bio-engineering artificial solutions. This project is now a four year project untill the end of 2014, it has been evaluated by the reviewers at the end of 2013. Results concerning the thalamus and the retina evoked in  §  6.3 and  §  6.4 have been obtained in this project. Furthermore, new collaboration tracks have been conducted, taking benefit of interdisciplinarity of this international collaboration, e.g. at the methodological level [1] .
