Title: Dynamics of evaluation and choice in the orbitofrontal cortex   Abstract: The orbitofrontal cortex is known to be important for evaluation, choice, and motivated behavior, but theories on its precise…

Speakers: Matt Whiteway and Mehdi Azabou Meeting Description: We will share progress on a benchmark using the IBL brain-wide map dataset Working group Description: Advances in neurotechnology and behavioral tracking have…

Title: Can resource optimization explain neuronal morphology and placement? Abstract: TBD Zoom: https://columbiauniversity.zoom.us/j/98788275902?pwd=Lnw6VtoEMdGUg0YygbkJBF3uAKgjsO.1&jst=3

Title: Neural dynamics of short term memory, from mice to human speech Abstract: Neural dynamics represent the hard-to-interpret substrate of circuit computations. Advances in large-scale recordings have highlighted the sheer spatiotemporal complexity…

ARNI will host an informal brainstorming session on June 3rd at 6pm (Fairchild 700) focused on developing AI and neuroscience/cognitive science activities for K–12 students. The goal is to create engaging ways to help young learners better understand the brain and artificial intelligence. Trainees are encouraged to attend—if you're interested in making an impact on…
