Thanks for sharing these links. I actually was part of a computational neuroscience program in university, but I never liked the "wet" side of things and all of the "AI" at the time was focused on kNN and SVM, so I'm well behind on what's cutting-edge in CNS. This seems like a good starting point to catch up again.
EDIT: I'm so dumb, the people behind ART were professors in my department! I know it seemed familiar. The whole thing left me jaded.
