Inria Associate Teams

Cortina, associate team with Chile

Participants : Frédéric Alexandre, Thierry Viéville.

The goal of this associate team initiated within the Cortex team is to combine our complementary expertise, from experimental biology and mathematical models (U de Valparaiso and U Federico Santa-Maria) to computational neuroscience (CORTEX/MNEMOSYNE and NEUROMATHCOMP), in order to develop common tools for the analysis and formalization of neural coding and related sensory-motor loops. Recording and modeling spike trains from the retina neural network, an accessible part of the brain, is a difficult task that our partnership can address, what constitute an excellent and unique opportunity to work together sharing our experience and to focus in developing computational tools for methodological innovations.
