Are you fascinated by how the brain turns light into images? Curious about how modern AI and machine learning are revolutionizing the way we study the brain?
We are thrilled to invite you to our upcoming jNWG BrainTalks featuring Dr. Katrin Franke (Stanford University, https://www.kfranke.com/)! Join us for her talk entitled: Functional Digital Twins of the Visual Brain: Deep Learning for In Silico Neuroscience.
Understanding how our brains process the visual world is one of the most complex challenges in neuroscience. But how do you actually tackle such a massive question? And how do you build a career that successfully bridges the gap between traditional biology and the rapidly evolving world of artificial intelligence?
Katrin is doing fascinating work at the interface of systems neuroscience and deep learning. In 2021, she received the Schilling Research Award of the German Neuroscience Society for her outstanding work on the functional characterization of retinal information channels. She will be sharing her personal research path—how she navigated her way to becoming an independent group leader—and presenting her current work on decoding the complex neural circuits of vision.
📅 Date: Wednesday, December 17th
⏰ Time: 6:00 pm
📍 Location: Zoom
This is a great opportunity not just to hear about cutting-edge visual neuroscience, but to ask questions about how to integrate computational tools into your own work or navigate the academic job market.
We look forward to seeing you there for an inspiring mix of hard science and career insights!
