Who Are We?

We started as the UW Bothell Biocomputing Laboratory, with a mission to understand the computations performed by nervous systems (computational neuroscience) and to apply what we learned developing more useful computing systems (some would call this AI). In practice, this has involved bringing lessons from computer science, physics, mathematics, and other fields to simulation and analysis of biologically realistic neural networks.

More recently, we have begun applying our expertise to a wider range of problems. Neural networks are a kind of graph based system, with large numbers of nodes or vertices highly interconnected with each other, sending each other messages, and integrating and modifying those messages to send onward. You can see our current and past projects under the "Projects" tab above.

If you are a UW Bothell student and interested in getting involved, read "Student Opportunities" under the "Projects" tab and then contact Prof. Stiber.
