Applications
There are several medium- and long-range applications of the technology developed at IFCAR
Neuroscience Knowledge
Models of brain regions can be used to better understand how they process information and obtain preliminary results of experimental hypotheses
Neuropharmaceutical Development
Biophysically realistic models can be used to test how novel compounds alter firing dynamics of brain regions
AI Development
In shorter-term, detailed brain region models can be used to develop brain-computer interfaces. More advanced models can be used to gain insight to develop human-level artificial intelligence
