Learn from the latest webinars about newly released neuroscience research and advances in experimental techniques. Topics include research news in neuroscience, neurology, psychology, brain science and cognitive sciences.
Deep–Brain Stimulation (DBS) has become an effective means of treating a variety of neurological conditions. Most DBS systems work are "open-loop," and apply constant stimula...
Artificial neural networks can be useful for studying brain functions. In cognitive neuroscience, recurrent neural networks are often used to model cognitive functions. I will first offer my...
In this talk, we will discuss the nuts and bolts of the novel continuous-time neural network models: Liquid Time-Constant Networks (LTCs). Liquid neural networks are nonlinear state-space mo...
Animal models present a unique opportunity to understand molecular mechanisms of pathological changes involved in cognitive dysfunction in neurological disorders. However, most of the work f...
In this talk, I will discuss the development of interpretable machine learning models to test scientific hypotheses, with a specific focus on spinal motor control. Voluntary movement require...
Explainable AI (XAI) aims at helping you understand and interpret predictions made by AI techniques and tools. Recently, there has been a growing interest in XAI as many users want explanati...
Some of the earliest symptoms of Alzheimer’s disease (AD) are loss of orientation, wandering and misplacing items. One of the first regions vulnerable to AD pathology is the entorhinal...
Human induced pluripotent stem cells (iPSCs) are immortal cell lines that can be derived from skin or blood of any individual. Their unique property of pluripotency means they can be differe...
Black Americans have an increased risk for age-related cognitive decline and Alzheimer's disease (AD) compared to other ethnic and racialized groups. However, risk factors for age-relate...
Natural Language Processing is experiencing a phenomenal capabilities acceleration since the introduction of Large Language Models (LLMs). This success stems in part from the ability to inge...
Mild traumatic brain injuries (mTBIs) are a prevalent health issue in North America. There is increasing pressure to utilize ecologically valid models of closed-head mTBI in the preclinical...
Children efficiently develop their visual systems through learning from their environment. How this development unfolds in noisy real-world data streams remains largely unknown. Deep neural...
Alzheimer’s and Parkinson’s diseases (AD, PD) are the two most common neurodegenerative disorders. Both diseases are characterized by abnormal aggregates in the brain, which incl...
Disability activists have sometimes claimed their disability has actually increased their well-being. Some even say they would reject a cure to keep these gains. Yet, these same activists of...
Neural networks are a powerful tool for modeling neural activity in the brain. In this talk, I will discuss how these models have helped in my own research and highlight recent work building...
Selective vulnerability of brain regions and specific neural populations in neurodegeneration remains little understood. We hypothesize that pre-existing physiological differences in neurons...

Date: February 15, 2023 Time: 7:00am (PST), 10:00pm (EST), 4:00pm (CET) While not all microscopy samples can fluoresce, all can scatter light, and this scattered light can be imaged. This ha...
Date: February 08, 2023 Time: 9:00am (PST), 12:00pm (EST), 6:00pm (CEST) Understanding cell-to-cell interactions in a tumor microenvironment are increasingly challenging due to the complexit...
Date: December 13, 2022 Time: 11:00am (PST), 2:00pm (EST), 8:00pm (CEST) Plasmid DNA (pDNA) is an essential component of molecular biotechnology applications, such as protein expression and...
Date: January 31, 2023 Time: 10:00am (PST), 1:00pm (EST), 7:00pm (CEST) Immunohistochemistry (IHC) is a standard technique for scientists and pathologists to detect antigens. Examining one o...
Date: January 25, 2023 Time: 10:00am (PST), 1:00pm (EST), 7:00pm (CET) The field of proteomics is poised for a single-molecule revolution – enabling more comprehensive analysis of the...
Date: October 26, 2022 Time: 9:00am (PST), 12:00pm (EST), 6:00pm (CEST) Current protein biomarkers are only moderately predictive in identifying individuals with mild traumatic brain injury...
Date: December 06, 2022 Time: 9:00am (PST), 12:00pm (EST), 6:00pm (CET) Spatial biology: high parameter spatial analysis of intact specimens, including both image-based and sequencing-based...
