Goal: create an artificial intelligent agent

  • What is the essence of neural computations?
  • What details can we ignore?
  • What can we abstract?
    $\rightarrow$ We don't know shite yet

We might chose to study single neurons, why?

  • They are the computational units of the brain amd constrain the network computations
  • To emulate in neuromorphic hardware
  • Basis of experimental method
