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
Our lab has as its mission to uncover the theoretical principles and neurobiological substrates that mediate adaptive behavior. To this end, we combine computational modeling which has its roots in artificial intelligence with empirical research where we measure the brain at work in naturalistic settings. In this talk I will put forward the notion that artificial neural networks provide cognitive neuroscientists with an ideal framework for modeling cognitive processes. Our results show that artificial neural networks accurately predict neural response patterns as the brain is engaged in challenging cognitive tasks, providing a new window on the neural implementation of such tasks. I will close with some thoughts on recent developments in this emerging area of research.
