Cristina Savin and Tim Vogels discuss how AI has shaped their neuroscience research
Not all neuroscientists use artificial intelligence in the same way or for the same purpose. Neuroscience researchers from different fields discuss the impact AI has had on their research and how it influences productivity in their labs.

From bench to bot: Does AI really make you a more efficient writer?
A more significant benefit may lie in improving quality, refining tone and reducing cognitive burden. But beware of bias.

Can an emerging field called ‘neural systems understanding’ explain the brain?
This mashup of neuroscience, artificial intelligence and even linguistics and philosophy of mind aims to crack the deep question of what "understanding" is, however un-brain-like its models may be.

Pooling data points to new potential treatment for spinal cord injury
By gathering raw data from multiple labs, we identified an overlooked predictor of recovery after spinal cord injury. Many more insights remain trapped in scattered data.

This paper changed my life: ‘Spontaneous cortical activity reveals hallmarks of an optimal internal model of the environment,’ from the Fiser Lab
Fiser’s work taught me how to think about grounding computational models in biologically plausible implementations.
