The University of Washington (UW) Computational Neuroscience Center is a focal point for research in mathematical and computational neuroscience spanning the full spectrum of scales, mechanisms and functions of the brain–from ion channel stochasticity in auditory processing to insect flight control to human/computer interfaces. The center, which also houses the Swartz Center for Theoretical Neuroscience, is the UW campus home for undergraduate, graduate and postdoctoral training and research programs linking theoretical and experimental neuroscience to advance understanding of the principles of neural computation.
