Title: Building mechanistic models of neural computations with simulation-based machine learning Abstract: Experimental techniques now make it possible to measure the structure and function of neural circuits at an unprecedented scale and resolution. How can we leverage this wealth of data to understand how neural circuits perform computations underlying behaviour? A mechanistic understanding will require models that…

Title: Do contemporary, machine-executable models (aka digital twins) of the primate ventral visual system unlock the ability to non-invasively, beneficially modulate high level brain states? Abstract: In this talk, I will first briefly review the story of how neuroscience, cognitive science and computer science (“AI”) converged to create specific, image-computable, deep neural network models intended…
