Dr. Tolias will discuss his journey into artificial intelligence research and how he and his lab are developing cutting-edge algorithms from discoveries in neuroscience to better understand the brain’s perceptual inference and decision making, along with the many challenges. Dr. Tolias and his lab have one goal: to harness the algorithmic power of the visual system to generate the most cutting-edge algorithms to better analyze data and gain deeper insights into the mysterious and mathematical complexities of the most evolutionarily advanced sensory organ.
