From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
The Center for Computational Brain Research (CCBR) is an Interdisciplinarity research centre located at the Indian Institute of Technology Madras, Chennai, India.[1] CCBR was set up in 2015 with funding from the co-founder of Infosys, Kris Gopalakrishnan. The stated objective of the center is "to explore the interface between Neuroscience and Engineering disciplines".[citation needed]
Research activities[edit]
The two broad areas of research at the center are:
-
to exploit engineering tools for analysing the structure and activity of neural circuits
-
advancing machine intelligence with brain-inspired hardware and software architecture.
The center has three chairs with an endowment of ₹100 million each. These chairs are currently[when?] held by distinguished Indian American professors Partha Mitra (Cold Spring Harbor Laboratory),[2] Mriganka Sur (MIT)[3] and Anand Raghunathan (Purdue University).[4]
Academic activities[edit]
Some of the teaching modules at CCBR are neuroscience, machine learning, vision, audition, natural language processing and reinforcement learning.[5] The center has also organized an annual winter course/workshop on "Machine Intelligence and Brain Research" during the first week of January.[6]
