DESCRIPTION:Sophie Raynor (Aberdeen/EPFL)\nTogether with Kathryn Hess and 
 Ran Levi\, and in collaboration with the Blue Brain Project here at the EP
 FL\, I am working to develop new topological methods for\nneural modelling
 . Though the hope is that topology will provide useful insights for neuros
 cience\, as mathematicians we are really motivated by the potential for ne
 w mathematics inspired by neuroscientific questions. I will introduce the 
 category we are using to model brain plasticity and learning processes\, a
 nd some ideas for how we are actually going to do this\, highlighting some
  of the topological features that are emerging from our investigations. Si
 nce this is work in its infancy\, the focus will be on developing the cont
 ext\, and discussing questions meriting further investigation.
