- Abstract:
The brain has the ability to build an internal map of its environment, and an active area of research concerns understanding how the brain performs this important function. One type of cell believed to play a vital role is known as a grid cell. Many experiments are being performed in which the researcher records the firing patterns of grid cells as a rat explores an environment, and it is often necessary to simulate these experiments. This module explains how to set the grid, simulate the rat's motion, calculate the rat's distance to the grid, and determine the firing pattern of a grid cell.

- Abstract:
What are the circuits, mechanisms and representations that permit the recognition of a visual scene from just one glance? In this one-day seminar on Scene Understanding, speakers from a variety of disciplines -- neurophysiology, cognitive neuroscience, visual cognition, computational neuroscience and computer vision -- will address a range of topics related to scene recognition, including natural image categorization, contextual effects on object recognition, and the role of attention in scene understanding and visual art. The goal is to encourage exchanges between researchers of all fields of brain sciences in the burgeoning field of scene understanding.
