On large-scale modeling of mouse primary visual cortex - with Anton Arkhipov - #10
Listen now
Description
Over the last ten years or so, the MindScope project at the Allen Institute in Seattle has pursued an industrylab-like approach to study the mouse visual cortex in unprecedented detail using electrophysiology, optophysiology, optical imaging and electron microscopy.  Together with collaborators at Allen, today’s guest has worked to integrate of these data into large-scale neural network, and in the podcast he talks about their ambitious endeavor.

Today’s AI is largely based on supervised learning of neural networks using the backpropagation-of-error synaptic learning rule. This learning rule relies on differentiation of continuous activation functions and is thus not directly applicable to spiking neurons. Today’s guest has developed the...

Today’s guest is a pioneer both in the fields of computational neuroscience and artificial intelligence (AI) and has had a front seat during their development.  His many contributions include, for example, the invention of the Boltzmann machine with Ackley and Hinton in the mid 1980s.  In this...
