Welcome

The Bernstein Network Computational Neuroscience connects experimental and theoretical scientists. It comprises more than 200 research groups and 450 individual scientists from all over the world who combine experimental neuroscientific approaches with theoretical models and computer simulations.

The Bernstein Network was launched in 2004 through a major funding initiative of the German Federal Ministry of Education and Research (BMBF) which aimed at advancing the transfer of theoretical knowledge to clinical and technical applications. The network is named after the German physiologist and biophysicist Julius Bernstein (1839-1917).

BMBF-Förderung zum Thema „Neurobiologisch inspirierte Künstliche Intelligenz“

Mit dieser Förderrichtlinie sollen Möglichkeiten und Chancen für eine gegenseitige Inspiration und Integration von Neurowissenschaften und KI in Pilotprojekten identifiziert werden. An konkreten Beispielen soll dargestellt werden, wie die Neurowissenschaften neue Erkenntnisse und Strategien für das Verständnis und die Weiterentwicklung von KI bereitstellen können. Zugleich sollen die Potentiale der KI für die Erforschung wissenschaftlicher Fragestellungen zu den Funktionsprinzipien des Gehirns und kognitiver Prozesse veranschaulicht werden. Die Pilotprojekte sollen zudem Möglichkeiten für die Umsetzung und den Transfer von Innovationsideen an der Schnittstelle von Neurowissenschaften und KI aufzeigen.
