What we do Study how the brain works and build very large scale computer models to simulate it Build large computer systems to run these models Visualize this computation in 3D space to learn more about it Use Robotics to test the models that we build

Study How the Brain Works and model it Neurons Excitatory Interneurons (inhibitory) Channels Potassium Family Suppressing behavior on parent cell

Build large Computer Systems to run those models Currently: 212 CPU’s 424 GB of Ram More than 1 TB of Disk

Visualize this in 3D space to learn more about it

Use Robotics to test the models Engaging & Rewarding: Evocative:

Who Supports this Office of Naval Research (People Grants) 3 year grant – ( ) $600,000 3 year grant – ( ) $660,000 3 year grant – ( ) ???? Department of Defense (Hardware Grants) DURIP $250,000 DURIP $250,000 DURIP $250,000 DURIP $250,000 DURIP ???

Our Sister Lab The Brain Mind Institute, EPFL – Lusanne, Switzerland – headed by Henry Markrham Neuro Testing – Real Brain experiments to compute the correct brain parameters Hardware – 8,000 cpu IBM Blue Gene super computer Currently #12 in the world

What Next Industry collaborations Full Hardware implementation Silicon based neuron simulations (instead of software) DARPA

Thank you We would like to acknowledge the Office of Naval Research and the Department of Defense for their funding as well as thank the UNR VP for Research office for their support of this project
