About neuronal models
In 1976 the statistician George Box mentioned that all models are wrong, but some are useful. He was right. When we try limit our understanding about the world and express it in the mathematical terms, almost always we would be able to find exceptions. Nevertheless, model development is important to reduce our understanding about reality into comprehensible scale, where we could figure out the causal relationships of the studied phenomenon.

Mentorship at Neuromatch Academy
It is a great pleasure to mentor students at Neuromatch Academy. It is a truly global school teaching the computational neuroscience to the world-wide audience of the next generation of neuroscientists. Today I have participated in teaching of 2 groups of students, who are going to learn the new computational neuroscience methods and apply their knowledge to various datasets including neuropixels data from rat visual cortex, fMRI data from the human brain, Calcium imaging dat
