Join our lecture series to explore the connection between artificial intelligence and the brain. Scientists from Czech and German universities will shed light on how AI and human intelligence differ, and how AI is used in brain research. Each lecture will also provide an opportunity to engage in a discussion with experts and ask questions you have about this topic.
14. 10. How AI Can Help Us Decode Vision
Dr. Marissa Weis (Neural Data Science Group, University of Göttingen)
Artificial intelligence (AI) offers powerful tools for understanding the brain's complex dynamics by detecting patterns in large-scale neural data that are difficult to uncover using traditional methods. This talk will provide a brief introduction to both artificial intelligence and neuroscience, highlighting how the two fields can work together to drive new discoveries. We'll focus on how AI is being used to study the brain’s visual system, helping researchers understand how it is organized and how we perceive the world around us.
15. 10. AI and the Eye - Building Digital Twins of the Visual System
Michaela Vystrčilová (Neural Data Science Group, University of Göttingen)
In this talk, we’ll explore the fascinating intersection between artificial intelligence (AI) and the visual system. We’ll take a look at how scientists are creating “digital twins” of the retina. The retina is a complex network of cells at the back of your eye responsible for processing visual information. The digital twins of the retina act like the biological ones, allowing us to study how the retina computes and transforms visual signals. Join us on this exciting journey to discover how blending technology and biology is unlocking new secrets about the functioning of our visual system.
16.10. The visual system: human vs machine
Mgr. Ján Antolík, PhD (Computational Systems Neuroscience Group, Charles University)
In my talk I will open three interrelated topics:
In the first topic Brain vs. Machine, I will outline the differences between human and machine perception of visual information
In the second topic, Neuromorphic Engineering, I will describe how the human brain continues to inspire the development of artificial intelligence.
I will conclude by discussing Brain-Machine Interface: mainly the potential of these technologies in the clinical field, but I will also outline the
future at the intersection between AI and neural implants.
This event is free.
