Funded by the Gatsby Charitable Foundation the Gatsby Computational Neuroscience Unit (GCNU) founded in 1998 is a world-leading centre for
research in computational theoretical neuroscience and in probabilistic and statistical machine learning. The Unit's co-location with the Sainsbury Wellcome Centre at UCL creates the potential for a uniquely close interaction between theory and experiment
in neuroscience and the integrated study of perception, control and learning.
