| Guidelines |
| Continuously extended biological knowledge about the organic brain has given rise to numerous models in computer science. There are two aims which drive the exploration. The first is to build biologically plausible models of cells and offer an explanation of what is being observed, while the second is to develop useful mathematical tools for solving complex problems. The thesis will address the former area and verify the results using the latter. The student will investigate spatial properties of brain tissue and present a model incorporating the principle ideas acquired. Computational strength of the model will be examined both theoretically and experimentally, and a formal definition and a software implementation will be provided. |
