Final call for submissions: CogFeel Workshop at ALIFE 2023 (extended deadline: June 06)
by Jie Mei June 2, 2023

June 2, 2023

*Apologies for cross-posting* We have decided to extend the submission deadline of the CogFeel Workshop from May 26 to June 06. Workshop information: Venue: ALIFE 2023, Sapporo, Japan Submission deadline: June 06 Notification of acceptance: June 13 Workshop date: July 25th, 2023 Title: Cognitive feelings: Towards multi-disciplinary approaches for realizing artificial systems with cognitive capacities Website: https://sites.google.com/view/cogfeel-alife-2023/ Workshop organizers: Jie Mei, International Research Center for Neurointelligence, The University of Tokyo Hiroki Kojima, National Center of Neurology and Psychiatry and The University of Tokyo Yuichi Yamashita, National Center of Neurology and Psychiatry Yukie Nagai, International Research Center for Neurointelligence, The University of Tokyo Summary: In recent years, an increasing number of cross-disciplinary approaches have been proposed to deepen our understanding of living systems and their interactive, evolutionary, and adaptive aspects. However, we have not fully achieved the emergence of intelligence and mind in artificial systems. To facilitate discussions on how cognitive capacities of artificial living systems could be improved and potentially propose a framework for exploring the origin, emergence and evolution of perception and emotions, we are organizing a workshop (CogFeel @ ALIFE 2023: https://sites.google.com/view/cogfeel-alife-2023) in conjunction with the 2023 Conference on Artificial Life (ALIFE 2023). We reinforce the role of cognitive feelings (i.e., feelings about one’s mental processes, encompassing senses of knowing, confidence, reality, and fluency, etc.) as an integrated component contributing to developmental individuality and diversity. We also recognize the difficulty in implementing (subjective) feelings in artificial systems which requires the differentiation whether these systems possess feelings or just behave as so. For a comprehensive perspective on how individual- and population-level diversity in cognitive and behavioral capacities emerges, in this workshop, we encourage discussions on methods and findings in disciplines including but not limited to: - Robotics, - Computational and behavioral neuroscience, - Psychology, - Virtual/augmented reality, and - Artificial intelligence, etc. We welcome submissions on topics within the fields of (neuro)robotics, computational and behavioral neuroscience, psychology, virtual/augmented reality, and artificial intelligence. We also encourage contributions from other relevant disciplines. Submissions should be in the form of extended abstracts (maximum 2 pages) or research articles (maximum 8 pages). We are planning to organize a special issue in partnership with a top academic journal where extended versions of selected contributions will be published. Please submit your contribution to cogfeelalife2023(a)gmail.com. We look forward to seeing you at the CogFeel Workshop!

PhD position - Model-predictive control of brain plasticity for optimal non-invasive brain stimulation
by Caroline Lea-Carnall May 25, 2023

May 25, 2023

We are looking for a PhD student to come and work with us at the University of Manchester. Please get in touch via the link below if you are interested! About the Project Neuroplasticity is the mechanism that underpins the brain’s ability to learn or recover from traumatic events, but also its deterioration underlies several Neurodegenerative diseases and mental illnesses. It is an umbrella term that encompasses multiple processes occurring at different spatial and temporal scales (1, 2). The most commonly discussed type of plasticity is long-term potentiation (LTP) which is defined as an increase in efficacy between synapses of two neurons. Experiments designed to measure LTP are often done in cell slices or cultures using patch-clamp techniques. However, we often want to promote (and measure) plasticity in humans in-vivo but it is not clear how changes in synaptic efficacy manifest in macroscopic non-invasive imaging measurements such as magnetic resonance imaging (MRI), magnetic resonance spectroscopy (MRS), or electroencephalography (EEG) that are available for use in humans. This project aims to link our detailed cellular-level knowledge of plasticity processes with systems-level observations in humans and is focused on answering the following 2 questions: 1. How can we modulate plasticity non-invasively in the brain? 2. How can we measure plasticity in vivo? To answer these questions you will combine mathematical/computational modelling of biophysically realistic large-scale neural networks that exhibit plasticity with cutting-edge neuroimaging techniques to test the model predictions. The model will be adapted so that its output can be compared to the three major imaging techniques described above and you will determine how changes in connectivity between and within brain regions in the model predict changes in our imaging metrics. There will be a particular focus on developing an EEG marker of plasticity as this currently does not exist. Finally, you will test the model predictions in an imaging study combining brain stimulation, EEG, MRI and MRS in a proof-of-concept experiment in humans. This will provide us with a deeper understanding of how to modulate and measure plasticity that can be deployed in the future for medical applications of brain stimulation such as in Parkinson’s disease, depression and pain control.

Workshop: Neural fields equations, from Wilson-Cowan to neural engineering, Paris, June 19-20th 2023
by Antoine May 16, 2023

May 16, 2023

Workshop: Neural fields equations, from Wilson-Cowan to neural engineering Paris, France, June 19-20th 2023 https://nfwparis2023.sciencesconf.org <https://nfwparis2023.sciencesconf.org/> We are pleased to announce the workshop: "Neural fields equations, from Wilson-Cowan to neural engineering" to be held at Laboratoire Jacques-Louis Lions, in the center of Paris, on June 19-20th 2023. An abstract is provided below. Invited speakers: - Stephen Coombes (University of Nottingham, UK) - Romain Veltz (Inria Center of University Côte d'Azur, FR) - Axel Hutt (Inria MIMESIS, FR) - Marcelo Bertalmio (Spanish National Research Council, ES) - Frédéric Chavane (Institute de neurosciences de la Timone, FR) - Alain Destexhe (CNRS-NeuroPSI, FR) - Alessio Franci (University of Liège, BE). Registration is free but mandatory. Few selected talks will be added to the program, based on abstract submission (deadline: June 1st). Workshop abstract: The modeling of collective behavior within a neuronal population, initiated by the pioneering work of Wilson and Cowan, has been a great source of inspiration in the computational neuroscience community. Indeed, the focus on the overall neuronal activity of a brain structure, rather than on the detailed evolution of the electric response of single neurons, allows to adequately model a vast range of brain functions and opens the door to a mathematical understanding of the processes involved. Moreover, the spatio-temporal version of this model, known as neural fields, allows one to consider spatial heterogeneity within a cerebral structure, at the price of more demanding analysis tools. Neural fields have been used in the investigation of a wide range of applications, including the modeling of sensory cortices, cognition, human-robot interaction, self-organizing maps, visual hallucinations, and deep brain stimulation. Despite great advances made on the mathematical understanding of these models, research on these models still progresses in several directions, including: - finer analysis of their behavior in a non-local regime - parameter identification based on experimental data - controllability analysis, e.g., to understand how to affect the dynamics via external stimulation - observability analysis, e.g., to determine the optimal sensor-placement strategy allowing to reconstruct the overall dynamics The aim of this workshop is to gather researchers from different fields (neuroscience, physics, mathematics, control engineering, computer science) to discuss the most recent advances on Wilson-Cowan and neural fields models and instill new collaboration opportunities on this topic. We look forward to seeing you there ! The organizers: Antoine Chaillet, Luca Greco, Dario Prandi

PhD or Postdoctoral Researcher in Bio-inspired, Model-Based Reinforcement Learning
by Grewe Benjamin Friedrich May 12, 2023

May 12, 2023

PhD or Postdoctoral Researcher in Bio-inspired, Model-Based Reinforcement Learning Location: Institute of Neuroinformatics and ETH AI Center, ETH Zurich, Switzerland Start Date: As early as July 1, 2023 The Grewe lab (www.grewelab.org <http://www.grewelab.org/>) at the Institute of Neuroinformatics (www.ini.uzh.ch <http://www.ini.uzh.ch/en.html>) and the ETH AI Center (ai.ethz.ch) at ETH Zurich invites applications for a PhD or Postdoctoral position in the area of bio-inspired, model-based reinforcement learning. We are particularly interested in candidates who can contribute to our ongoing research endeavors to understand and model the complex and dynamic patterns of neuronal activity inspired by how the brain operates and solves tasks. Research Background: Our lab's research focuses on understanding how the brain alters its internal neuronal activity patterns that encode information across large neuronal ensembles to facilitate learning. We are particularly interested in the mechanisms underlying changes in network information processing related to learning a model of the external world. Given the inherent complexity, unreliability, and multidimensionality of neuronal activity patterns in the brain, this is a challenging endeavor. To better understand learning in the brain we employ in in vivo brain recording methods in mice (eg. mini-scopes) to characterise learning-induced changes in neuronal ensemble activity (RL in mice). Simultaneously, we develop biologically-inspired multi-layer (deep) artificial neuronal network models (ANNs) that mimic the information processing and storage capabilities observed in real biological networks (e.g. to solve an RL problem). We place significant emphasis on reverse-engineering neuronal network function at a very abstract level and on understanding the fundamental principles that determine learning-induced changes in neuronal networks (biological and artificial). Role Description: As a PhD or Postdoctoral fellow, you will be tasked with developing and implementing innovative bio-inspired, model-based reinforcement learning algorithms. Your role will involve close collaboration with a multidisciplinary team of neuroscience and machine learning researchers at the Institute of Neuroinformatics and the ETH AI Center respectively. Key Responsibilities: Design and implement bio-inspired, model-based reinforcement learning algorithms. Conduct/simulate RL experiments and analysis to test and refine these algorithms. Collaborate with a multidisciplinary team to advance our collective research goals. Present research findings at internal and external meetings and conferences. Contribute to the broader academic community through peer review and other service roles. Essential Qualifications: MSc or Ph.D. in Theoretical Neuroscience, Computer Science, Artificial Intelligence, or a closely related field (e.g. Physics). Some background in reinforcement learning, ideally model-based methods. Familiarity with bio-inspired neuronal network approaches to machine learning. Proven track record demonstrated by publications in reputable journals (PD only). Excellent written and verbal communication skills in English. Desirable Qualifications: Experience with computational or theoretical neuroscience and bio-inspired deep learning methods. Proficiency in programming languages commonly used in AI research (e.g., Python, R, Matlab). Experience with deep learning frameworks (e.g., TensorFlow, PyTorch). Salary: The salary for this position will be in accordance with the standard ETH PhD/postdoc salaries. https://ethz.ch/en/the-eth-zurich/working-teaching-and-research/welcome-cen… Application Process: Interested applicants should submit a detailed CV, a cover letter explaining their interest in the position and contact information for three references to bgrewe(a)ethz.ch ------------------------------------------------------ Benjamin F.
