Description of the CNS Department:

The Department of Cognitive and Neural Systems (CNS) provides advanced 
training and research experience for graduate students and qualified 
undergraduates interested in the neural and computational principles, 
mechanisms, and architectures that underlie human and animal behavior, 
and the application of neural network architectures to the solution of 
technological problems. The department's training and research focus on 
two broad questions. The first question is:  How does the brain control 
behavior? This is a modern form of the Mind/Body Problem. The second 
question is: How can technology emulate biological intelligence?  This 
question needs to be answered to develop intelligent technologies that 
are well suited to human societies. These goals are symbiotic because 
brains are unparalleled in their ability to intelligently adapt on 
their own to complex and novel environments. Models of how the brain 
accomplishes this are developed through systematic empirical, 
mathematical, and computational analysis in the department. Autonomous 
adaptation to a changing world is also needed to solve many of the 
outstanding problems in technology, and the biological models have 
inspired qualitatively new designs for applications. During the past 
decade, CNS has led the way in developing biological models that can 
quantitatively simulate the dynamics of identified brain cells in 
identified neural circuits, and the behaviors that they control. This 
new level of understanding is leading to comparable advances in 
intelligent technology.

CNS is a graduate department that is devoted to the interdisciplinary 
training of graduate students. The department awards MA, PhD, and BA/MA 
degrees. Its students are trained in a broad range of areas concerning 
computational neuroscience, cognitive science, and neuromorphic 
systems. The biological training includes study of the brain mechanisms 
of vision and visual object recognition; audition, speech, and language 
understanding; recognition learning, categorization, and long-term 
memory; cognitive information processing; self-organization and 
development, navigation, planning, and spatial orientation; cooperative 
and competitive network dynamics and short-term memory; reinforcement 
and motivation; attention; adaptive sensory-motor planning, control, 
and robotics; biological rhythms; consciousness; mental disorders; and 
the mathematical and computational methods needed to support advanced 
modeling research and applications. Technological training includes 
methods and applications in image processing, multiple types of signal 
processing, adaptive pattern recognition and prediction, information 
fusion, and intelligent control and robotics.
The foundation of this broad training is the unique interdisciplinary 
curriculum of seventeen interdisciplinary graduate courses that have 
been developed at CNS.  Each of these courses integrates the 
psychological, neurobiological, mathematical, and computational 
information needed to theoretically investigate fundamental issues 
concerning mind and brain processes and the applications of artificial 
neural networks and hybrid systems to technology. A student's 
curriculum is tailored to his or her career goals with an academic 
advisor and a research adviser. In addition to taking interdisciplinary 
courses within CNS, students develop important disciplinary expertise 
by also taking courses in departments such as biology, computer 
science, engineering, mathematics, and psychology.  In addition to 
these formal courses, students work individually with one or more 
research advisors to learn how to do advanced interdisciplinary 
research in their chosen research areas. As a result of this breadth 
and depth of training, CNS students have succeeded in finding excellent 
jobs in both academic and technological areas after graduation.

The CNS Department interacts with colleagues in several Boston 
University research centers or groups, and with Boston-area scientists 
collaborating with these centers. The units most closely linked to the 
department are the Center for Adaptive Systems and the CNS Technology 
Laboratory. Students interested in neural network hardware can work 
with researchers in CNS and at the College of Engineering. Other 
research resources include the campus-wide Program in Neuroscience, 
which includes distinguished research groups in cognitive neuroscience, 
neurophysiology, neuroanatomy, neuropharmacology, and neural modeling 
across the Charles River Campus and the Medical School; in sensory 
robotics, biomedical engineering, computer and systems engineering, and 
neuromuscular research within the College of Engineering; in dynamical 
systems within the Mathematics Department; in theoretical computer 
science within the Computer Science Department ; and in biophysics and 
computational physics within the Physics Department.  Key colleagues in 
these units hold joint appointments in CNS in order to expedite 
training and research interactions with CNS core faculty and students.

In addition to its basic research and training program, the department 
organizes an active colloquium series, various research and seminar 
series, and international conferences and symposia, to bring 
distinguished scientists from experimental, theoretical, and 
technological disciplines to the department.

The department is housed in its own four-story building, which includes 
ample space for faculty and student offices and laboratories 
(computational neuroscience, visual psychophysics, psychoacoustics, 
speech and language, sensory-motor control, neurobotics, computer 
vision), as well as an auditorium, classroom, seminar rooms, a library, 
and a faculty-student lounge.  The department has a powerful computer 
network for carrying out large-scale simulations of behavioral and 
brain models and applications.

Below are listed departmental faculty, courses and labs.

CNS students also take a wide variety of courses in related 
departments. In addition, students participate in a weekly colloquium 
series, an informal lecture series, and student-run special interest 
groups, and attend lectures and meetings throughout the Boston area; 
and advanced students work in small research groups.

LABORATORY AND COMPUTER FACILITIES

The department is funded by fellowships, grants, and contracts from 
federal agencies and private foundations that support research in life 
sciences, mathematics, artificial intelligence, and engineering. 
Facilities include laboratories for experimental research and 
computational modeling in visual perception; audition, speech and 
language processing; and sensory-motor control and robotics. Data 
analysis and numerical simulations are carried out on a 
state-of-the-art computer network comprised of Sun workstations, 
Silicon Graphics workstations, Macintoshes, and PCs.  A PC farm running 
Linux operating systems is available as a distributed computational 
environment.  All students have access to X-terminals or UNIX 
workstation consoles, a selection of color systems and PCs, a network 
of SGI machines, and standard modeling and mathematical simulation 
packages such as Mathematica, VisSim, Khoros, and Matlab.

The department maintains a core collection of books and journals, and 
has access both to the Boston University libraries and to the many 
other collections of the Boston Library Consortium.

In addition, several specialized facilities and software are available 
for use. These include:

Active Perception Laboratory
The Active Perception Laboratory is dedicated to the investigation of 
the interactions between perception and behavior. Research focuses on 
the theoretical and computational analyses of the effects of motor 
behavior on sensory perception and on the design of psychophysical 
experiments with human subjects.  The Active Perception Laboratory 
includes extensive computational facilities that allow the execution of 
large-scale simulations of neural systems. Additional facilities will 
soon include instruments for the psychophysical investigation of eye 
movements during visual analysis, including an accurate and 
non-invasive eye tracker, and robotic systems for the simulation of 
different types of behavior.

Computer Vision/Computational Neuroscience Laboratory
The Computer Vision/Computational Neuroscience Laboratory is comprised 
of an electronics workshop, including a surface-mount workstation, PCD 
fabrication tools, and an Alterra EPLD design system; a light machine 
shop; an active vision laboratory including actuators and video 
hardware; and systems for computer aided neuroanatomy and application 
of computer graphics and image processing to brain sections and MRI 
images. The laboratory supports research in the areas of neural 
modeling, computational neuroscience, computer vision and robotics. The 
major question being address is the nature of representation of the 
visual world in the brain, in terms of observable neural architectures 
such as topographic mapping and columnar architecture. The application 
of novel architectures for image processing for computer vision and 
robotics is also a major topic of interest. Recent work in this area 
has included the design and patenting of novel actuators for robotic 
active vision systems, the design of real-time algorithms for use in 
mobile robotic applications, and the design and construction of 
miniature autonomous vehicles using space-variant active vision design 
principles. Recently one such vehicle has successfully driven itself on 
the streets of Boston.

Neurobotics Laboratory
The Neurobotics Laboratory utilizes wheeled mobile robots to study 
potential applications of neural networks in several areas, including 
adaptive dynamics and kinematics, obstacle avoidance, path planning and 
navigation, visual object recognition, and conditioning and motivation. 
The laboratory currently has three Pioneer robots equipped with sonar 
and visual sensors; one B-14 robot with a moveable camera, sonars, 
infrared, and bump sensors; and two Khepera miniature robots with 
infrared proximity detectors. Other platforms may be investigated in 
the future.

Psychoacoustics Laboratory
The Psychoacoustics Laboratory in the Department of Cognitive and 
Neural Systems (CNS) is equipped to perform both traditional 
psychoacoustic experiments as well as experiments using interactive 
auditory virtual-reality stimuli. The laboratory contains approximately 
eight PCs (running Windows 98 and/or Linux), used both as workstations 
for students and to control laboratory equipment and run experiments. 
The other major equipment in the laboratory includes special-purpose 
signal processing and sound generating equipment from Tucker-Davis 
Technologies, electromagnetic head tracking systems, a two-channel 
spectrum analyzer, and other miscellaneous equipment for producing, 
measuring, analyzing, and monitoring auditory stimuli. The 
Psychoacoustics Laboratory consists of three adjacent rooms in the 
basement of 677 Beacon St. (the home of the CNS Department). One room 
houses an 8 ft. x 8 ft. single-walled sound-treated booth as well as 
space for students. The second room is primarily used as student 
workspace for developing and debugging experiments. The third space 
houses a robotic arm, capable of automatically positioning a small 
acoustic speaker anywhere on the surface of a sphere of adjustable 
radius, allowing automatic measurement of the signals reaching the ears 
of a listener for a sound source from different positions in space, 
including the effects of room reverberation.

Sensory-Motor Control Laboratory
The Sensory-Motor Control Laboratory supports experimental and 
computational studies of sensory-motor control.  A computer controlled 
infrared WatSmart system allows measurement of large-scale (e.g. 
reaching) movements, and a pressure-sensitive graphics tablet allows 
studies of handwriting and other fine-scale movements.  A second major 
component is a helmet-mounted, video-based, eye-head tracking system 
(ISCAN Corp, 1997). The latter's camera samples eye position at 240Hz 
and also allows reconstruction of what subjects are attending to as 
they freely scan a scene under normal lighting. Thus the system affords 
a wide range of visuo-motor studies.  The laboratory is connected to 
the department's extensive network of Linux and Windows workstations 
and Linux computational servers.

Speech and Language Laboratory
The Speech Laboratory includes facilities for analog-to-digital and 
digital-to-analog software conversion. Ariel equipment allows reliable 
synthesis and playback of speech waveforms. An Entropic 
signal-processing package provides facilities for detailed analysis, 
filtering, spectral construction, and formant tracking of the speech 
waveform. Various large databases, such as TIMIT and TIdigits, are 
available for testing algorithms of speech recognition.  The laboratory 
also contains a network of Windows-based PC computers equipped with 
software for the analysis of functional magnetic resonance imaging 
(fMRI) data, including region-of-interest (ROI) based analyses 
involving software for the parcellation of cortical and subcortical 
brain regions in structural MRI images.

Technology Laboratory
The Technology Laboratory fosters the development of neural network 
models derived from basic scientific research and facilitates the 
transition of the resulting technologies to software and applications. 
The Lab was established in July 2001, with a grant from the Air Force 
Office of Scientific Research:  "Information Fusion for Image Analysis: 
  Neural Models and Technology Development." Initial projects have 
focused on multi-level fusion and data mining in a geospatial context, 
in collaboration with the Boston University Center for Remote Sensing. 
This research and development has built on models of opponent-color 
visual processing, boundary contour system (BCS) and texture 
processing, and Adaptive Resonance Theory (ART) pattern learning and 
recognition, as well as other models of associative learning and 
prediction. Other projects include collaborations with the New England 
Medical Center and Boston Medical Center, to develop methods for 
analysis of large-scale medical databases, currently to predict HIV 
resistance to antiretroviral therapy. Associated basic research 
projects are conducted within the joint context of scientific data and 
technological constraints.

Visual Psychophysics Laboratory
The Visual Psychophysics Laboratory occupies an 800-square-foot suite, 
including three dedicated rooms for data collection, and houses a 
variety of computer controlled display platforms, including Macintosh, 
Windows and Linux workstations. Ancillary resources for visual 
psychophysics include a computer-controlled video camera, stereo 
viewing devices, a photometer, and a variety of display-generation, 
data-collection, and data-analysis software.

Affiliated Laboratories
Affiliated CAS/CNS faculty members have additional laboratories ranging 
from visual and auditory psychophysics and neurophysiology, anatomy, 
and neuropsychology to engineering and chip design. These facilities 
are used in the context of faculty/student collaborations.
