BiNDS Lab
The Biologically Inspired Neural & Dynamical Systems (BINDS) Laboratory at the Computer Science Department, University of Massachusetts, Amherst was created to advance research in the interface between biological (and neuroscience) computing and artificial intelligence, improving knowledge, building superior AI and using the results to contribute to humanity.
