Tree of Experiments

How computational neuroscience began · Inspired by Models of the Mind by Grace Lindsay

This tree is inspired by Grace Lindsay’s Models of the Mind (2021), which tells how physics, engineering and mathematics shaped our understanding of the brain, starting, like this tree, with Galvani’s frogs. The choice of experiments, the disciplines they are placed in and the links between them are ours, checked against the original papers named on each card and the sources below. The lines show the main link into each experiment; choose an experiment to see all of its links, each with what was taken from the earlier work.
