MindTalks: Using large scale physiology to study the functional organization and dynamics of the mouse visual cortex (Prof. Dr. Saskia de Vries)
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 [...]

MindTalks: Exploring the brain with functional digital twins (Prof. Dr. Fabian Sinz)
Abstract Deep neural networks have set new standards in modeling the responses of large scale populations of neurons to natural stimuli, yielding models that can accurately predict the response of thousands of neurons to novel stimuli. This allows us to treat the model as a functional digital twin of the neural circuit and probe neurons [...]
