BI 195 Ken Harris and Andreas Tolias with Gaute Einevoll and Mikkel Lepperød

Summary

In this episode of Brain Inspired, hosts Paul and Gaute Ein­evoll share recordings from a Norwegian Neuro‑AI workshop, featuring conversations with neuroscientists Ken Harris and Andreas Tolias. Harris discusses his ultra‑high‑density recordings of thousands of neurons and the challenges of interpreting massive data streams, while Tolias describes his work on foundation models that predict mouse visual‑cortex activity using deep networks. The dialogue highlights how AI tools are reshaping experimental neuroscience, boosting predictive power but raising new questions about interpretability and model validation.
