MindTalk: Intervening in the brain of the blind: Challenges and future prospects (Prof. Dr. Eduardo Jover, 12.12.2022, 16:00-17:30, Raum 2030, Cognium, Hochschulring 18 )
Abstract Motivated by the success of cochlear implants for deaf patients, our group is developing a cortical visual neuroprosthesis designed to interface with the occipital cortex in order to restore a limited but useful sense of vision to profoundly blind patients. We will review the most important challenges regarding this neuroprosthetic approach and emphasize the need […]
MindTalk: Using large scale physiology to study the functional organization and dynamics of the mouse visual cortex (Prof. Dr. Saskia de Vries, 05.12.2022, 18:00-19:30, via Zoom)
Abstract An important open question in neuroscience is how sensory information is represented and transformed by circuits in the cortex. To study this we created the Allen Brain Observatory. This open dataset is a large-scale, systematic survey of physiological activity in the awake mouse cortex recorded using 2-photon calcium imaging. It consists of over 63,000 […]
