Dr. Eliasmith's research is focused on building a mathematical theory of how the brain works. He is developing a general method for building neurally-based cognitive systems that can be directly compared to many kinds of neuroscientific data, from brain imaging to single cell recording. Large-scale simulations using his approach have helped better characterize both normal cognitive function and the behaviour of diseased or damaged brains. Understanding poor functioning can help develop methods for improving patient outcomes, while understanding normal function can help us reproduce skilled human performance in artificial systems.

埃利亚斯史密斯博士的研究重点是建立一个关于大脑如何工作的数学理论。他正在开发一种建立基于神经的认知系统的通用方法，可以直接与多种神经科学数据进行比较，从脑成像到单细胞记录。利用他的方法进行大规模模拟，有助于更好地描述正常认知功能和患病或受损大脑的行为。了解不良功能可以帮助开发改善患者预后的方法，而了解正常功能可以帮助我们在人工系统中重现熟练的人类表现。
