KiloNeurons Population Codes for Space in the Mammalian Cortex

Coordinator: NORGES TEKNISK-NATURVITENSKAPELIGE UNIVERSITET NTNU (NO)

A major goal in neuroscience is to understand neural computation in the mammalian cortex. Since the 1950s, we have learnt how cells respond to changes in the environment but the cells have largely been observed one at a time. However, single-cell recording cannot access the complexity of distributed processing and coding in the large, intermixed cell populations of the cortex. To understand this complexity, we need population-wide activity measurements, at single-cell resolution, as well as theoretical models to interpret the data. In this project, we shall combine experiments and theory to e…

About Horizon 2020 (2014–2020)

Horizon 2020 was the EU's flagship research and innovation programme for 2014–2020, with a budget of around €77 billion. It bundled FP7's strands with the EIT and the Competitiveness and Innovation Programme, introduced a stronger societal-challenge orientation, and pushed the funding logic toward closer-to-market innovation. New calls closed in 2020 but funded projects continued through 2024.

EU contribution: €10.0M awarded to the consortium. The project runs over approximately 6.9 years from 2021-02-01 to 2027-12-31.
