Cracking the Code - Neuronal Networks in the Brain

Explore the fascinating world of biological neuronal networks in this 30-minute conference talk. Discover how evolution has produced ultra-light, energy-efficient networks in insects and worms with only a few hundred neurons, enabling them to navigate, make decisions, adapt behavior, and communicate. Learn about cutting-edge techniques used to explore these natural networks in vivo during complex cognitive tasks. Delve into the fantastic encoding solutions that have emerged from the brain's biophysical constraints. Examine examples of bio-inspired AI algorithms for learning and spatial navigation, and understand how artificial neural networks can spontaneously exhibit behavior identical to the live brain. Gain insights into the convergence of neuroscience and artificial intelligence, and how studying biological neural networks can inform and inspire advancements in AI technology.
