Seminar: Dr Linnéa Gyllingberg, Mathematical models of basal cognition

Stellenbosch University, Physics Department School of Data Science and Computational Thinking, Stellenbosch

Title of talk: Mathematical models of basal cognition Speaker: Dr Linnéa Gyllingberg (Uppsala University, Sweden) Abstract: Building mathematical models of brains is difficult because of the sheer complexity of the problem. One potential approach is to start by identifying models of basal cognition, which give an abstract representation of a range of organisms without central nervous systems, …
