We're hiring! @OfficialUoM has a research and teaching lectureship for computational modellers, or other cognitive neuroscientists. Scanners, computing facilities, occasional biscuits - we've got the lot. https://t.co/Q8YiHpxsBJ
On Wednesday 1st November 2-3pm, Manchester Neuroscience Seminar Series will present a talk by
@SepiKeshavarzi of @PDN_Cambridge titled "Integration of head and visual motion for self-motion perception and spatial navigation" hosted by @RiccardoStorch1. All welcome! 🧠
What are whiskers for? How do they work? And what can we learn from them? Dr Robyn Grant explains, with the help of some porcupines in our video from @bbcideas:
Born #OnThisDay in 1885 was physicist Niels Bohr ForMemRS. He made fundamental contributions to quantum theory, and was awarded the Copley Medal in 1938 for 'his distinguished work in the development of the quantum theory of atomic structure': https://t.co/gFsy5nNAXU
“It is imperfection — not perfection — that is the end result of the program written into that formidably complex engine that is the human brain." Rita Levi-Montalcini ForMemRS and Nobel Prize winning neurobiologist, was born #OnThisDay in 1909. https://t.co/Pip3nAAa5j
On Wednesday 26th April 2-3pm, Manchester Neuroscience Seminar Series will present a talk by @CampagnerDario of @ucl titled “From goals to actions: a cortico-collicular circuit for navigating during escape”, hosted by @RasSPet. Details on flyer - all welcome! 🧠
Immensely clear exposition of current AI and Large Language Models (ChatGPT) from one of the chief exponents of neural nets and deep learning, Geoff Hinton. Well worth watching! https://t.co/4V3Fc6Du09
NEW: Whether fly or human, fleeing from danger is key to staying alive. Scientists are beginning to unravel the complex circuitry behind the split-second decision to beat a hasty retreat.
