SfN Connectome & Memory Decoding Meetup (17 Nov)
Date & Time: Monday, November 17, 7–10 p.m.
Add to CalendarLocation: Hilton San Diego Bayfront: Cobalt 500
Sponsor Category: University/Non-Profit
Sponsored By: Aspirational Neuroscience
The Aspirational Neuroscience community is a non-profit promoting attempts to decode memories from static brain ultrastructure.
We would like to invite you to a reception we are running at SfN on Mon 17 Nov, 7-10 PM, which will entail:
- Food provided (and drinks available)
- A panel discussion on “what would it take to decode a non-trivial memory from a connectome?”, comprised of the following experimental and theoretical connectomics researchers:
- Michał Januszewski
- Research scientist (connectomics) with Google Research, automated neural tracing expert
- Sven Dorkenwald
- Research fellow at the Allen Institute, first-author on first full Drosophila connectome paper
- Helene Schmidt
- Group leader at Ernst Strungmann Institute, hippocampus connectome & EM expert
- Andrew Payne
- Founder of E11 Bio, expansion microscopy & viral tracing expert
- Sanchari Ghosh
- 2023 winner of an Aspirational Neuroscience prize for Ghosh et al (2021), behavioural neuroscience expert
- Randal Koene
- Founder of the Carboncopies Foundation, computational neuroscientist dedicated to the problem of brain emulation.
- Michał Januszewski
Moderated by Paul Middlebrooks, host of the Brain Inspired podcast
- A (brief!) awards ceremony honoring recent relevant experiments
- Networking time.
