2009 Cognitive Neuroscience Annual Spring Retreat and Kavli Institute for Brain and Mind Symposium
Sponsored by the NIH Cognitive Neuroscience Training Program for the Institute for Neural Computation and the Kavli Institute for Brain and Mind at UC San Diego.
The Kavli Institute for Brain and Mind (KIBM) at UC San Diego is a virtual environment unhampered by disciplinary boundaries, providing scientists with opportunities for effective interdisciplinary integration of research and knowledge. KIBM will transcend traditional disciplinary barriers to foster new discourse among top scientists, accelerating discoveries about the connections between mechanism and behavior.
KIBM's mission is to support research that furthers our understanding of the origins, evolution and mechanisms of human cognition, from the brain's physical and biochemical machinery to the experiences and behaviors called the mind. KIBM will leverage UC San Diego's preeminence in such fields as neuroscience, biology, cognitive science, psychology and medicine, along with the extensive resources of the broader La Jolla scientific community, to extend its position as the pacesetter in brain-mind research and education, and as a vibrant hub for dissemination of its discoveries to advance science and benefit humankind.
The Institute for Neural Computation (INC) is an organized research unit of UC San Diego with 44 members representing 14 research disciplines, devoted to the research and development of a new generation of massively parallel computers through a coherent and cohesive plan of research spanning the areas of neuroscience, visual science, cognitive science, artificial intelligence, mathematics, economics and social science and computer engineering.
INC’s mission is to create a new science of computation based on the multi-scale, highly parallel hybrid analog and digital architectures found in nervous systems. This goal requires that researchers in the basic sciences, medical and engineering disciplines work closely together. The challenge is to integrate the diversity of disciplines that can contribute to this goal, which range from biology, neuroscience, neurology, psychology and cognitive science to physics, mathematics, economics, electrical engineering and computer science.
