National Initiatives

We were 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, that ended in december 2014. The project was addressing 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. Results concerning the thalamus and the retina evoked in  §  6.3 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 (cf. the ECOS project in §  8.3 ).
