Grand+Challenges

The Top 15 Grand Challenges on Monday, July 18th, 2011
 * 1) To bridge the gap between computational neuroscience and neurophysiology
 * 2) To solve the problem of scales (How many Degrees of Freedom/Constraints can we get from organizational systems?)
 * 3) To solve the issue of layering: computational vs. physical layering
 * 4) To get one example of computational layer that has dynamics on each side of the layer
 * 5) To figure out how good/fast is the hardware?
 * 6) To take into account the fact that the brain operates at multiple time scales
 * 7) Methodological robustness
 * 8) Need a crisper terminology
 * 9) Whole-brain understanding; integration
 * 10) Merging physical models with neuroscience
 * 11) What is missing from system neuroscience (relative to single-cell physiology)
 * 12) How much do details matter for computation at large scales?
 * 13) To understand the validity of multi-instantiation
 * 14) To find a consensus on what the target system should be.
 * 15) What is the shape of the theory? What do we expect from the theory? What is brain architecture really?
