NeuroMat supercomputer to simulate neuronal systems

The Research, Innovation and Dissemination Center for Neuromathematics (RIDC NeuroMat) should launch soon a High-Performance Computational Center at the University of São Paulo, Ribeirão Preto campus, and thus advance in the understanding of interacting neuronal systems. "Simulations provide models on which one may apply and test hypotheses that remained at an abstract level. The key challenge is to incorporate as many key features in the simulations for the results to be meaningful," said Antonio Carlos Roque, a NeuroMat principal investigator and the coordinator of NeuroMat's supercomputer cluster.

Statistics for all is motto of NeuroMat's educational workshops

In April, 2015, members of the Research, Innovation and Dissemination Center for Neuromathematics (CEPID NeuroMat), met with around 30 school teachers and other professionals of education to conduct a first cycle of activities directed to primary school teachers (Mathematics, Science and Stakeholder Areas). The project had a main objective to strengthen teachers' training in statistics, providing them with methods and content that could be applied in class settings.
