Hello guys
I need your help in order to clarify the following issue
I am PhD student in neuroscience and I am dealing with brain’s neuroanatomy and physiology in case of Autism. But I am more interested in Computational neuroscience, Artificial neural network(s), the problem of consciousness and things like them. To my mind, this is the most complex, a bit mysterious and intriguing topic to be explored. I want to study these sciences.
But I do not exactly know what is the essential difference between Computational neuroscience and Artificial neural network(s). Do they explore the same things? Or similar things? Do they (at least partly) overlap each other? Which one is more close to the problem of consciousness? Do they equally need the knowledge in Mathematics? Cybernetics? Which of them should I choose (University/Faculty/Program)?
