SHPE Presents Raytheon's Craig Snow
Mon, Oct 07, 2013 @ 04:00 PM - 04:00 PM
Viterbi School of Engineering Student Organizations
Workshops & Infosessions
The wise and knowledgeable recruiter from Raytheon will join us to offer his guidance on careers in engineering. He will cover important topics about success in academia and how to fortify your development as a student in Viterbi. At times we lose grasp of the overall significance of our major and the applications of our coursework; Mr. Snow will help reiterate how important engineering is and the pathways available to us after graduation.
One of these paths is employment at Raytheon; as a campus liaison he is the best person to hear speak about their current technologies. A brief synopsis of how you can build a future with Raytheon's through the various opportunities available there, will also be discussed. His presentation is designed specifically to aid for transfer students and underclassmenLocation: Grace Ford Salvatori Hall Of Letters, Arts & Sciences (GFS) - 108

ENH Seminar Series
Mon, Oct 07, 2013 @ 04:00 PM - 05:00 PM
Alfred E. Mann Department of Biomedical Engineering
Conferences, Lectures, & Seminars
Speaker: Eugene Izhikevich, Brain Corporation San Diego, CA
Talk Title: Spikes
Abstract: Title: "Spikes"
Most communication in the brain is via spikes. While we understand the spike-generation mechanism of individual neurons, we fail to appreciate the spike-timing code and its role in neural computations. The speaker starts with simple models of neuronal spiking and bursting, describes small neuronal circuits that learn spike-timing code via spike-timing dependent plasticity (STDP),and finishes with biologically detailed and anatomically accurate large-scale brain models.
Biography: Dr. Eugene M. Izhikevich is a computational neuroscientist known for his contributions into the theory of nonlinear dynamical systems and spiking networks. He pioneered a novel approach to spiking neurons that combined biologically plausibility and implementation efficiency, which allowed him in 2005 to simulate the largest thalamo-cortical model having the size of the human brain, i.e., the same number of neurons and synapses as in human brain. Presently, Dr. Izhikevich is the Chief Executive Officer of Brain Corporation, San Diego, CA, which he founded in 2009 to build a biologically detailed spiking model of the visual system and motor control (http://www.braincorporation.com). Before that, he was with The Neurosciences Institute in San Diego, where he founded Scholarpedia - the peer-reviewed open-access encyclopedia (http://www.scholarpedia.org). Eugene is the editor-in-chief of Encyclopedia of Computational Neuroscience and Encyclopedia of Dynamical Systems. Academic webpage is at http://www.izhikevich.org.
