Gleeson Lab of Open Neuroscience & AI
UCL

Overview

The Gleeson lab is a new group in the department of Neuroscience, Physiology and Pharmacology at University College London. The focus is on development and application of open neuroscience tools and resources to facilitate investigation of brain function, as well as unifying approaches to modelling networks across computational neuroscience and AI/machine learning.

Initiatives we contribute to include the Open Source Brain model and data sharing platform, the NeuroML model description language for computational neuroscience and the OpenWorm project, which aims to create a cell-by-cell simulation of the worm C. elegans. Additionally, we contribute to the development of MDF (Model Description Format), which allows specification of models across computational neuroscience, machine learning and cognitive science.
