Neuroscience Fueled by ML, with Prof. Bradley Voytek

Added on October 22, 2024 by Jon Krohn.

Today's guest is the extraordinarily intelligent and well-spoken UC San Diego theoretical neuroscience professor, Bradley Voytek. He reveals how AI/ML is accelerating our understanding of the brain.

More on Brad:

• Professor in UC San Diego's Department of Cognitive Science, Data Science Institute, and the Neurosciences Graduate Program.

• Joined Uber as their first data scientist, when it was a 10-person startup, helping build their data science strategy and team.

• Outreach work has appeared in Scientific American, NPR... and Comic-Con!

• Co-authored the amusing book "Do Zombies Dream of Undead Sheep?"

Today’s episode has some brief exchanges that will appeal most to hands-on practitioners, but should overall be fascinating to anyone.

In today’s episode, Brad details:

• How large-scale data science and machine learning are accelerating neuroscience research.

• Discoveries his lab has recently made that overturn nearly a century of neuroscience doctrine.

• Insights on structuring data science education to balance technical skills with creative, practical problem-solving.

• Lessons from using data science to optimize Uber's early ride-prediction algorithms.
