Generating Code That Activates Our Brains

Explore how our brains respond to code comprehension in this 2-hour 13-minute workshop presented by Shashank Srikant from MIT CSAIL. Discover techniques for automatically modifying programs to predict high responses in specific brain regions. Learn about backpropagation and the Gumbel softmax trick while building a system that utilizes these concepts. Gain hands-on experience by hacking through popular code models available on Huggingface. Delve into the fascinating intersection of neuroscience and programming in this comprehensive tutorial on neurosymbolic programming for science.
