The powerful machine learning systems of today do not follow such rules. We study how the rules and constraints imposed on the most efficient computer known to man, the human brain, can inspire new computational paradigms and topologies. | | Description: | The student will work with our team to develop existing neuroAI modeling code , testing and validating extensions to it to make it amenable to modulation technologies (like deep brain stimulation technologies) | | References: | “NOBLE--Neural Operator with Biologically-informed Latent Embeddings to Capture Experimental Variability in Biological Neuron Models” Luca Ghafourpour, Valentin Duruisseaux, Bahareh Tolooshams, Philip H Wong, Costas A Anastassiou, Anima Anandkumar, Advances in Neural Information Processing Systems (in press) “Cell class-specific electric field entrainment of neural activity” Soo Yeun Lee, Konstantinos Kozalakis, Fahimeh Baftizadeh, Luke Campagnola, Tim Jarsky, Christof Koch, Costas A.
