Learn from the latest webinars about newly released neuroscience research and advances in experimental techniques. Topics include research news in neuroscience, neurology, psychology, brain science and cognitive sciences.
Learning Objections: 1. To learn a new approach to understanding brain function by creating networks to perform tasks using machine learning. 2. To learn how how to probe these networks to d...
We will show how to combine large scale neural recordings and mechanistic neural network models to advance our conceptual understanding of how neural circuits mediate cognitive functions lik...
Understanding how populations of neurons work together to represent stimuli, build percepts, and generate complex behaviors, is a fundamental challenge in neuroscience. To establish a link b...
Cortical circuits often receive multiple inputs from upstream populations with non-overlapping stimulus tuning. Both the feedforward and recurrent architectures of the receiving cortical lay...
Threshold-linear networks (TLNs) display a wide variety of nonlinear dynamics including multistability, limit cycles, quasiperiodic attractors, and chaos. Over the past few years, we have de...
Targeted stimulation of the brain has the potential to treat mental illnesses but designing an appropriate protocol requires a multitude of choices. I will describe an approach to help desig...
The intrinsic activity of the brain is organized into networks and motifs that vary over time. To understand how coordinated macroscale patterns of intrinsic activity flow across the brain&r...
Complex behaviors are often driven by an internal model, which integrates sensory information over time and facilitates long-term planning to reach subjective goals. {\color{rev}A fundamenta...
Recent advances in machine learning have shown that deep neural networks (DNNs) can provide powerful and flexible models of neural sensory processing. In the auditory system, standard linear...
Multiscale modeling has arisen as a focus of computational systems biology, with the realization that genome, proteome, connectome, etceteromes, will only become comprehensible once placed i...
One role of theory is in guiding future experiments: What should we aim to measure? Which experimental results should we be surprised about? I will argue here that simple random networks mod...
Drawing from the latest research and intervention practices, this presentation will address overcoming burn-out, compassion fatigue and vicarious trauma generally, and specifically as relate...
