ARNI is committed to promoting science education among New York City's youth. This year, ARNI is supporting Girls' Science Day on April 5, 2025. Location: TBD Mission Girls’ Science Day…

Title: Principles of Learning from Multiple Tasks Abstract:  Deep networks are increasingly trained on data from multiple tasks with the goal of sharing synergistic information across related tasks. A language model,…

Speaker: Christopher A. Baldassano Title: Remembering events using schematic knowledge Abstract: Our everyday experiences consist of familiar sequences of events in familiar contexts, and we use our knowledge of the past to understand…

Title: How the human brain thinks about itself Abstract: The human brain has a remarkable ability to monitor and evaluate its own mental states, known as metacognition. Metacognition is crucial…

Title: Quantifying individuality in neural circuit representations   Abstract: Signatures of neural computation are thought to be reflected in the coordinated activity of large neural populations. Neuroscience is now flush with measurements of these activity patterns in humans,…

Title: Reimagining the biology of memory   Abstract: Over the last half century, there has been a remarkable convergence on the idea that memories are stored at synapses. I will…

Bio: Itzel is a Ph.D. student at Rice University working with Prof. Xaq Pitkow. She studies perception and control mechanisms that give biological organisms an advantage over machines. She believes…

Title: Uncovering latent low-dimensional structure in network connectivity Abstract: Network connectivity constrains the patterns of neural activity in the brain. These constraints are often observed as low-dimensional manifolds in neural activity space.…
