mso-bidi-language:HI'>To simulate computational cognition, it is necessary to
understand the workings of brain and cognitive processes. The study of the
development of the cortex and the precise orderly connections within and between
cortical areas, which enable the processes that underlie sensation and
perception, control of action, learning and memory etc., can lead to simulation
of those processes on a computational system. These theoretical studies offer
the prospect of connecting diverse research constructs and paradigms, and of
providing a new understanding of the algorithms that drive our mental
"machinery."<o:p></o:p></span></p>

mso-bidi-language:HI'>is the Paul E. and Lilah Newton Professor of
Neuroscience and Director of the Simons Center for the Social Brain at MIT.
Dr. Sur studies the organization, development and plasticity of the cerebral
cortex of the brain using experimental and theoretical approaches. He has
discovered fundamental principles by which networks of the cerebral cortex
are wired during development and change dynamically during learning. His
laboratory has identified gene networks underlying cortical plasticity, and
pioneered high resolution imaging methods to study cells, synapses and
circuits of the intact brain. Recently, his group has demonstrated novel
mechanisms underlying disorders of brain development, and proposed innovative
strategies for treating such disorders.<o:p></o:p></span></p>
