The project we have in mind is to investigate the extent to which the computational tools of model reduction, as developed by
AR Kellems, D Roos, N Xiao and SJ Cox, (2009) Low-dimensional, morphologically accurate models of subthreshold membrane potential, J Computational Neuroscience.
can be used to reduce the dimension of the LGMD's internal dynamics to a few variables that are essential to its function.
