*** Integrated in the area of Signal Processing and Data Analysis Abstract: My goal for this seminar is, first of all, to present myself to the group and, following the provocative title, to present my area of research: theoretical neuroscience. Instead of dedicating the seminar to a single specific problem, I decided that it would be more interesting - at this stage - to discuss some of theoretical neuroscience' methodologies/techniques and, most importantly, to informally present some of the problems I am presently working on. My hope is that this may catalyze interesting discussions and collaborations within our group. I will informally address nociceptive (pain) information processing in the spinal cord, information storage in neural networks, network architecture inference, and simulation environments in computational neuroscience.
