In GBA 131 we get better acquainted with Carl. He stops off in the middle of travelling around the world to talk neuroscience, culture, the merely real and share some stories of his travels.

Carl plugs:

"Have joy if you can in the merely real."

"Do stuff while you can because there's a fine line between can and can't and you don't want to discover it on the wrong day."

In this episode, hosts Joe and Lesley chat with Dr. Rodrigo Pena about computational neuroscience and the power of this field to advance our understanding of the nervous system. Dr. Pena is an Assistant Professor in the Biological Sciences department at Florida Atlantic University.  He is also one of the organizers of LASCON IX (Latin American School on Computational Neuroscience) which is now accepting applications.

87. Understanding Computational Neuroscience with Rodrigo De Oliveira Pena

Discover how Warren Sturgis McCulloch´s groundbreaking work laid the foundation for modern AI and neural network theory. #WarrenMcCulloch

Warren McCulloch

Warren Sturgis McCulloch & Artificial Intelligence

In a brand new episode of the Knowing Neurons podcast, we explore the concept of "mind uploading". How would something like a mind upload really work? How close are we to uploading our brains right now? What kind of ethical, social, and legal challenges would it bring up? We investigate with special guests Dr. Adrienne Fairhall, Dr. Rafael Yuste, and Dr. Randal Koene.

Uploading the Human Brain

In our 6th episode we talk about computers and brains and how one can affect our understanding of the other. To do this, I interviewed two computational neuroscientists. Tom Sharp, from the University of Manchester, is a computer scientist working in the SpiNNaker group and he's building a massive super computer which should be able to simulate a very large network of neurons. Matteo Farinella, from University College London, has a background in biology, but he's now making computer simulations of how single neurons from the cortex of the brain integrate and compute large amounts of information in just a few milliseconds.
During our chat we discuss Matteo and Tom's work and we critically talk about the future of neuroscience, what it means to investigate the nature of our own minds and if we'll ever be able to figure out once and for all how the brain works. 

Episode 6 - Brains and Computers

A fortnightly Life Science podcast presented by Greta Santagata and Ceri Harrop from The University of Manchester

The AI VIPs page is a tribute to those pioneers—from the early architects like Alan Turing and John McCarthy, who laid the groundwork for AI, to the modern-day innovators who continue to push the boundaries of what’s possible.
