The ICT for Life Sciences Forum will host a presentation by Professor Anders Lansner, Director of the Computational and Modelling platform at the Stockholm Brain Institute on Brain modelling and brain-inspired computing. Professor Lansner holds a Chair in the School of Computer Science and Communication at the Royal Institute of Technology (KTH). He also holds a position at the Stockholm University. Professor Lansner will explain some of his research using supercomputers to model the brain, which has allowed the simulations of networks with millions of neurons and billions of synapses. He will also discuss a European Research project that is developing microchips capable of high speed emulation of large neural networks. The event will be held on Monday, 16th November, commencing at 5 pm with canapes & refreshments to be followed at 6 pm by the presentation.
