Thomas Wenneker's EPSRC-funded COLAMN Project
COLAMN researchers are unpicking the subtleties of nerve-to-nerve communication
COLAMN is a large research project funded for 5 years by the Engineering and Physical Sciences Research Council (EPSRC) under its Novel Computing Initiative. COLAMN stands for "A Novel Computing Architecture for Cognitive Systems based on the Laminar Microcircuitry of the Neocortex". COLAMN aims to develop computer models and hardware in order to understand the mammalian NeoCortex better and to build future bio-inspired computing architectures. For that purpose, the COLAMN Consortium comprises 12 scientific investigators in the UK and 7 associated groups in Europe covering the full spectrum of disciplines necessary. This includes experimental neurophysiologists, computational and theoretical neuroscientists, and hardware designers.
