Our director Brokoslaw Laschowski sat down with University of Toronto neuroscience students to discuss brain science, AI, and machine learning youtube.com/watch?v=f3wJil… University Health Network U of T Department of Computer Science Vector Institute

It was an honour to give the grand rounds talk this morning at the Department of Surgery CHU Sainte-Justine Université de Montréal. Thank you for the invitation. #neuroAI #compneuro

But models can readily use latent information in their context. We therefore suggest that natural intelligence solves the latent learning problem via the complementary strengths of episodic memory: reinstating experiences into context makes latent information accessible. 4/

Recent discussions (e.g. Richard Sutton on Dwarkesh Patel’s podcast) have highlighted why animals are a better target for intelligence — and why scaling alone isn’t enough. In my recent CMU Robotics Institute seminar talk, “Using Embodied Agents to Reverse-Engineer Natural Intelligence”,

Agree. The brain isn’t tabula rasa. Evolution has encoded strong inductive priors in our neural architectures and plasticity rules, providing structured initialization that enables efficient reinforcement learning and optimization. #neuroAI #compneuro @Karpathy Richard Sutton

I've been arguing that #NeuroAI should model the brain in health *and* in disease -- very excited to share a first step in this direction from Melika Honarmand: inducing dyslexia in vision-language-models via targeted perturbations of visual-word-form units (analogous to human VWFA)

A nice application of our NeuroAI Turing Test! Check out Imran Thobani's thread for more details on comparing brains to machines!

interesting new brain decoding approaches!

A glimpse at what #NeuroAI brain models might enable: a topographic vision model predicts stimulation patterns that steer complex object recognition behavior. This could be a key 'software' component for visual prosthetic hardware.

🧠 Imagine being able to control machines by thinking. Brokoslaw Laschowski (MIE) and his Computational Neuroscience Lab are working to make it possible. They've developed a new algorithm that could make brain decoding more accurate and efficient. Read more: uofteng.ca/25h7c8

ALS took Nick’s arm mobility. Now, he can control a robotic arm with his Neuralink device to feed himself. “Life with my BCI has been and continues to be so surreal and so rewarding. Can’t wait to see what comes next!”

A couple of months ago Kording Lab 🦖 trolled (in the best possible sense of that term) my happy-go-lucky Wu Tsai Neurosciences Institute podcast on Brain simulations. Actually he had some interesting points.... We decided to have an in-depth "podcast" about it, for your listening pleasure:
