Sergey Plis: AI and the brain

TReNDS Neuroimaging Series

Our very own Sergey Plis will be speaking about AI and the brain. Information-rich multimodal and multisubject brain imaging datasets facilitate understanding brain function and dysfunction but they are extremely complex. Automatic knowledge discovery from these data could distill their complexity to self-evident information. This talk covers our use and development of deep learning for this task: knowledge discovery in neuroimaging. I will explain why deeper models work better on our data, show how we can use them to discover information about populations of subjects, demonstrate how these models pay attention to structure and function, what they learn about brain dynamics, how they can beat state of the art neuroimaging tools at their game and more.
