Title: Mice wiggle a wheel to boost the salience of low visual contrast stimuli Abstract: From the Welsh tidy mouse to the New York City pizza rat, movement belies rodent intelligence. We show that head-fixed…

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…

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…
