Optimization Problems in Neural Dynamics

Eric Shea-Brown, UW Department of Applied Mathematics

Abstract: I'll give an overview of mathematical neuroscience, through the lens of optimal input to single neurons, neural circuits, and neural populations. Applications range from synchrony, to deep brain stimulation for Parkinson's Disease, to decision making. No biology background will be assumed
