Neuroscience is the scientific study of the nervous system. Its aim is to understand how the nervous system works, discover what goes wrong in its diseased/injured states and to develop treatments to fix these pathological states. Computational Neuroscience is the use of computers to analyse and model electrical recordings from the brain, in order to elucidate how the brain computes. It is instrumental to present efforts to try and crack the "neural code" i.e. to decode the, as yet largely unknown, cipher that specifies how information is encoded in the electrical and chemical signals of the...
