The lab of computational neuroscience at Shanghai Jiao Tong University is directed by Douglas Zhou and Songting Li. It involves a diverse team with expertise of mathematics, physics, computer science and biology, sharing a common interest in understanding how the brain works. In general, the research in the lab applies mathematical modeling and computational techniques to investigate principles of neuronal computation across spatiotemporal scales, including dendritic computation of a single neuron, dynamics of neuronal circuitry and large-scale networks, and brain-inspired machine learning algorithms. The lab is in quest of mathematical understanding of the brain with a close collaboration with experimentalists.
