Foundations of Computational Neuroscience

Research output: Contribution to journalArticlepeer-review

Abstract

Most computational neuroscientists assume that nervous systems compute and process information. We discuss foundational issues such as what we mean by ‘computation’ and ‘information processing’ in nervous systems; whether computation and information processing are matters of objective fact or of conventional, observer-dependent description; and how computational descriptions and explanations are related to other levels of analysis and organization.
