Head: Timothée MASQUELIER
Our new team embodies the cross-pollination between Neuroscience and Artificial Intelligence (AI). We:
– employ state-of-the-art AI methods to effectively address outstanding neuroscience questions. For example deep learning tools are used to find patterns in vast amounts of fMRI and EEG data, and to relate them to stimuli, cognition, behavior and well being.
– use our knowledge of the brain to design improved AI algorithms and artificial neural network architectures, for example by incorporating spikes, feedback, oscillations, or more human-like representations.
Keywords
Artificial intelligence, machine learning, deep learning, neural networks, computational neuroscience, vision, audition, natural language processing.
