Show Notes
Starting from the pioneering work of Hodgkin, Huxley and Rall in the 1950s and 60s, we have a well-founded biophysics-based mathematical understanding of how neurons integrate signals from other neurons and generate action potentials.
Today's guest wrote the classic book "Biophysics of Computation" on the subject in 1998.
We discuss its contents, what has changed in the last 25 years, and also touch on his other main research interest: consciousness research.
