Abstract: Why is it important to ground neuroscience in mathematics? What kind of mathematics are relevant in this scientific area where biology, perception; action and cognition are closely intermingled? What kind of relationships should be entertained with experimentalists and computationalists? In this lecture I will try to answer these questions through examples drawn from the analysis of the activity of large populations of neurons by mathematical methods from probability, statistics, and geometry.
