People who wish to analyze nature without using mathematics must settle for a reduced understanding.
Richard P. Feynman
We aim to understand how the brain works as an engineered system. How geometric and dynamic constraints in brain networks give rise to the mathematical rules responsible for emergent computational and cognitive functions.
At the same time, we are using what we learn to understand how the brain differs in neurodevelopmental disorders such as autism spectrum disorder and how we can use such mathematical models and brain algorithms to understand the inner workings of artificial neural networks.
