The Center for Biological & Computational Learning is a research lab at the Massachusetts Institute of Technology.
It was founded with the belief that learning is at the very core of the problem of intelligence, both biological and artificial.
Learning is thus the gateway to understanding how the human brain works and for making intelligent machines.
Its main goal is to nurture serious research on the mathematics, the engineering and the neuroscience of learning.
In computational neuroscience, the center has developed a model of the ventral stream in the visual cortex which accounts for much of the physiological data, and psychophysical experiments in difficult object recognition tasks.
