On origins of computational neuroscience and AI as scientific fields - with Terrence Sejnowski (vintage) - #9 1:55:27

1M ago1:55:27

1:55:27

Today’s guest is a pioneer both in the fields of computational neuroscience and artificial intelligence (AI) and has had a front seat during their development. His many contributions include, for example, the invention of the Boltzmann machine with Ackley and Hinton in the mid 1980s. In this “vintage” episode recorded in late 2019 he describes the …

On reverse engineering of the roundworm C.elegans - with Konrad Kording - #8 1:34:14

2M ago1:34:14

1:34:14

Today’s guest has argued that the present dominant way of doing systems neuroscience in mammals (large-scale electric or optical recordings of neural activity combined with data analysis) will be inadequate for understanding how their brain works. Instead, he proposes to focus on the simple roundworm C.elegans with only 302 neurons and try to rever…

On topological data analysis and Hopfield-like network models - with Carina Curto - #7 2:14:41

3M ago2:14:41

2:14:41

Over the last decade topological analysis has been established as a new tool for analysis of spiking data.

On central pattern generators in the spinal cord - with Henrik Lindén - #6 1:26:33

3M ago1:26:33

1:26:33

Not all interesting network activity occurs in cortex. Networks in the spinal cord, the long thin tubular structure extending downwards from the neck, is responsible for setting up rhythmic motor activity needed for moving around. How do these so-called central pattern generators work? Today’s guest has, together with colleagues in Copenhagen, deve…

On how vision works - with Li Zhaoping - #5 1:21:57

4M ago1:21:57

1:21:57

We know a lot about of how neurons in the primary visual cortex (V1) of mammals respond to visual stimuli. But how does the vast information contained in the spiking of millions of neurons in V1 give rise to our visual percepts? The guest’s theory is that V1 acts as a “saliency detector” directing the gaze to the most important object in the visual…

On multi-area cortex models - with Sacha van Albada - #4 1:32:51

5M ago1:32:51

1:32:51

A key goal of computational neuroscience is to build mathematical models linking single-neuron activity to systems-level activity. The guest has taken some bold steps in this direction by developing and exploring a multi-area model for the macaque visual cortex, and later also a model for the human cortex, using millions of simplified spiking neuro…

On the neural code - with Arvind Kumar - #3 1:25:46

6M ago1:25:46

1:25:46

It is widely thought that spikes (action potentials) are the main carrier of information in the brain. But what is the neural code, that is, what aspects of the spike trains carry the information? The detailed temporal structure or maybe only the average firing rate? And is there information in the correlation between spike trains in populations of…

On biophysics of computation – with Christof Koch - #2 1:20:10

6M ago1:20:10

1:20:10

Starting from the pioneering work of Hodgkin, Huxley and Rall in the 1950s and 60s, we have a well-founded biophysics-based mathematical understanding of how neurons integrate signals from other neurons and generate action potentials. Today’s guest wrote the classic book “Biophysics of Computation” on the subject in 1998. We discuss its contents, w…
