Beyond #NeuroAI, we need #AI4Neuro—and we’re going to suck at it (at first). [Part 3]
The fundamental principle of using AI for science is that it can help us do some things extremely efficiently, but it usually requires an ‘oracle’ or verifier. I’m of the opinion that we simply don’t...

Once you get past the first 5 minutes of me bumbling around clearly in need of media training, we settle into a nice groove talking about fitting mechanistic models, ML/AI for neuroscience, degeneracy and its potential benefits for biology (plus some good chuckles).
