This research area connects biological realism to cortical associative
memory. The first work of this kind done within the SANS project is
described in
(Lansner 1982). This study is continued
and extended in our work on the cell-assembly theory. Another current
focus is cortical dynamics and oscillations, investigated by means of
models of intermediate complexity with simple units and realistic
circuitry. Our aim here is to relate the experimentally observed
complex dynamics to the structure and function of cortical neural
networks.
