Alexandre Pouget Date and Time: May 21st at 3pm Location: Zuckerman Institute Kavli Auditorium 9th Floor Title: Neural Models of Compositionality Abstract: Compositionality is widely regarded as one of the cornerstones of general intelligence. It refers to the ability to rapidly generate or learn new concepts by combining simpler ones according to an underlying syntax, as…

Title: Brain2Qwerty: Noninvasive decoding of typed sentences from human brain activity Abstract: Restoring communication for people who have lost the ability to speak or move after a brain injury is a major challenge. While intracranial implants now enable high-performing brain-computer-interfaces, non-invasive alternatives are still lagging behind. Here, we present Brain2Qwerty v2, a model that can…

Location: Zuckerman Institute (room TBD) Date and Time: August 2nd, 10am to 6pm About:  Recent advances in deep learning and improvements in the quantity and quality of available human brain-activity data (including functional MRI, EEG, MEG, and intracranial recordings) have made it possible to build accurate encoding models of the human brain that can predict neural activity…
