Emergent dynamics in a reconstruction of a neocortical microcircuit

Eilif Muller

Blue Brain Project, EPFL Campus Biotech, Geneva

Eilif Muller was born and raised in western Canada (BC and Alberta). He received his B.Sc. (Honours) in Mathematical Physics from Simon Fraser University in 2001, and his Ph.D. in Physics (magna cum laude) from the University of Heidelberg, Germany in 2007. Since 2011, Eilif leads the team of researchers building, validating and simulating digital reconstructions of neocortical tissue at the Blue Brain Project, a leading simulation partner of the Human Brain Project - a European Commission (EC) Future and Emerging Technology (FET) Flagship initiative.

Abstract

It has been called "the most complete simulation of a piece of excitable brain matter to date", by Christof Koch, President and CSO of the Allen Institute for Brain Science in Seattle [1]. After briefly reviewing the... [ view full abstract ]
