Mechanistic models precise enough to explain what goes wrong in a brain, and to repair it.

Computermind: The mind, modeled.
A research and development society for relentlessly curious minds who think in systems. We model how the brain computes, how it breaks and how to build with it, and we measure ourselves by what we contribute.
Entry is by contribution: models · code · datasets · papers · tools
Mission
A species that understands how it works.
Every contribution made here adds up to one outcome: a species fully aware of its own functioning and mechanisms, able to build inside itself, on top of itself and beyond itself. Smart enough to understand its core, its essence and its beauty, and not die attempting it.

Build on top
Interfaces and tools that extend memory, attention and reasoning without breaking what lies underneath.
03outside
Build outside
Artificial systems that compute the way brains do, and brains we understand better for having built them.
Research
One brain, four levels of description.
Computational neurobiology, neuroscience, psychology and psychiatry: we work at every level where a brain can be modeled, from molecules to the clinic. The bridges between levels matter most. A model that explains one level and predicts the next is worth ten that stay put.
Biophysical models of molecules, synapses and cells: the hardware everything else runs on.
How circuits and networks compute: coding, dynamics, plasticity and learning.
Cognition as algorithm: perception, memory, decision-making and belief.
Models of how that computation goes wrong, used to explain disorders and find treatments.
Membership
Built for minds that think in systems.
Computermind is for the relentlessly curious: engineers, scientists and clinicians working where computer science meets neuroscience, who understand the brain deeply or are getting there. You're judged by what you contribute, not by your credentials.
