I will also give a short talk on our laterally connected topographical neural network model at the first session of “Modeling the Physical Brain: Spatial Organization and Biophysical Constraints”

talk: Monday, Aug 11, 12:15-12:30pm CET, Room A2.07
preprint: www.biorxiv.org/content/bior...

@motahareh will present her work on a neural network model of visual search that replicates a wide range of behavioral and neural phenomena while making new predictions about its underlying neural code

poster: C145, Friday, Aug 15, 2-5pm, de Brug & E‑Hall

@maximemdaigle.bsky.social will present his work on using neural networks to decode what and how (non)spatially selective hippocampal neurons encode!

talk: Friday, Aug 15, 12–1pm, Room C1.03

Are you thinking of automating the review process? LLMs are already doing some of that. I’m pretty sure at least 25% of reviews at conferences are already LLM-generated.

I'm not sure which two papers you are talking about but I didn't notice the PNAS paper I posted in the preprint

interesting

Congratulations on the paper! It made me think of this paper by Pawan Sinha on developmentally aligned training of neural networks: www.pnas.org/doi/full/10....
It's interesting to see that this procedure leads to much broader robustness than previously thought.
