The Bernstein Center for Computational Neuroscience (BCCN) Munich is marking a milestone, ten years of interdisciplinary collaboration by scientists at the Technical University of Munich (TUM), Ludwig Maximilians University (LMU), and other partners. By promoting collaboration at the interfaces where biology, medicine, computer science, and electrical engineering meet, BCCN sets the stage for advances that could benefit society.
