A neuro-AI framework for visual neuroscience: Digital twins of the eyes and the brain

WTI Inspiring Speaker: Joel Zylberberg

Thursday, November 14, 2024

4:00 - 5:15 pm

Reception to follow

100 College Street
Floor 11, Workshop 1116
New Haven, CT 06510

Joel Zylberberg aims to develop computational models that respond to visual stimuli the same way our eyes and brains do. To achieve this goal, his lab has begun to develop hybrid neuro-AI models that incorporate biophysically-detailed neuron models into fully-trainable AI architectures. In this talk, Zylberberg will show how these hybrid neuro-AI models enable us to overcome key challenges in using AI to build digital twins of the visual system.

WTI Inspiring Speaker Series

The Wu Tsai Institute presents the 2024-25 Inspiring Speaker Series.

The Institute’s new signature series features an interdisciplinary lineup of speakers studying the mind and brain from different angles, including perspectives from beyond academia. These speakers were selected for their ability to bridge and communicate across disciplines with state-of-the-art research and ideas relevant to the entire Wu Tsai Community.

Talks occur on Thursdays at 4:00 pm approximately every two weeks, beginning September 2024. They take place in the Workshop on the 11th floor of the Wu Tsai Institute at 100 College Street. There will be an opportunity for questions and a reception following each talk.

All members of the Yale community are welcome. Please contact wti@yale.edu if you have any accessibility-related needs. View upcoming talks and subscribe to our monthly newsletter for updates.
