OxTalks is Changing
On 28th November OxTalks will move to the new Halo platform and will become 'Oxford Events' (full details are available on the Staff Gateway).
There will be an OxTalks freeze beginning on Friday 14th November. This means you will need to publish any of your known events to OxTalks by then as there will be no facility to publish or edit events in that fortnight. During the freeze, all events will be migrated to the new Oxford Events site. It will still be possible to view events on OxTalks during this time.
If you have any questions, please contact halo@digital.ox.ac.uk
Computational Neurology and Active Inference
This talk offers an overview of active inference – a set of methods in computational neuroscience – with a focus upon how it might be used to understand pathological neuronal computation in neurological disorders. The key themes of the talk include (1) the relationship between the brain’s internal model of its environment and the (synaptic) message passing architectures that support perceptual inference; (2) planning as inference, and changes in behaviour with changes in prior beliefs; and (3) the role of neuromodulatory transmitters in setting the precision (or confidence) of our internal models.
