In this episode, Paul Middlebrooks and Gaute Einevoll<\/a>, host of the \u201cTheoretical Neuroscience<\/a>\u201d podcast, talk to researchers at a neuroAI workshop<\/a> held in Norway in September, which brought together a diverse group of neuroscientists to assess how best to employ AI models in neuroscience.\r\n\r\nIn the first of two episodes from the event, Middlebrooks and Einevoll talk with Kenneth Harris<\/a> and Andreas Tolias<\/a> about the ongoing transformation AI models are having on the field. Harris, professor of quantitative neuroscience at University College London, analyzes large populations of neurons to understand how the brain transforms sensations and internal signals into actions. Tolias, professor of ophthalmology at Stanford University, uses deep-learning models to discover how large neural populations underlie our perceptions and decisions.\r\n\r\nRead the transcript<\/a>.\r\n\r\nListen to the second episode with Cristina Savin and Tim Vogels<\/a>."},{"acf_fc_layout":"newsletter","title":"Get alerts for \u201cBrain Inspired\u201d in your inbox.","subtitle":"Subscribe to get notified every time a new episode is released.","bg_image":200913,"groups":[{"group":"16","name":"","hide_checkbox":true}],"linktext":"","linkurl":""}]},"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.thetransmitter.org\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/218771"}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.thetransmitter.org\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.thetransmitter.org\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.thetransmitter.org\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/2"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.thetransmitter.org\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=218771"}],"version-history":[{"count":10,"href":"https:\/\/www.thetransmitter.org\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/218771\/revisions"}],"predecessor-version":[{"id":219107,"href":"https:\/\/www.thetransmitter.org\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/218771\/revisions\/219107"}],"acf:post":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.thetransmitter.org\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/contributor\/211244"}],"acf:term":[{"embeddable":true,"taxonomy":"post_tag","href":"https:\/\/www.thetransmitter.org\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags\/613"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.thetransmitter.org\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/218784"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.thetransmitter.org\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=218771"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.thetransmitter.org\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=218771"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.thetransmitter.org\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=218771"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
