Dean Buonomano on time in neuroscience vs. physics, integrated information theory, testing timing dynamics in organotypic brain slices, and how AI doesn’t need neuroscience to continue to progress.
Aran Nayebi on NeuroAgents, reverse-engineering brains to build autonomous agents, and an update to the Turing test for NeuroAI.
Gabriele Scheler co-founded the Carl Correns Foundation for Mathematical Biology. In fact, Carl Correns was her great grandfather, one of the early pioneers in genetics. Gabriele is a computational neuroscientist, whose goal is to build models of cellular computation, and much of her focus is on neurons.
Ali Preston on how the neuroscience of schemas, which help us form memories, integrate and differentiate information, and make predictions.
