Monday, October 1, 2018(Computer) Vision without Sight: Finding, Reading, and Magnifying TextSeminar: Oxyopia Seminar | October 1 | 11:10 a.m.-12:30 p.m. | 489 Minor Hall Roberto Manduchi, Professor of Computer Engineering, UC Santa Cruz Neuroscience Institute, Helen Wills Reading is a pervasive activity in our daily life. We read text printed on books and documents, shown on directional signs and advertisement, and displayed on computer and smartphone screens. People who are blind can read text using OCR on their smartphone; those with low vision may magnify onscreen content. But these tasks are not always easy. Reading a document with OCR requires taking a...

We exploit these two unique features to study retinal biology and adaptations during hibernation. In this seminar, I will discuss an optic feature of the ground squirrel retina, as well as several forms of adaptation during hibernation in the retina and beyond. By exploring the mechanisms of such adaptation, we hope to...

Turing Laureate Lecture: Towards a Conscious AI: A Computer Architecture Inspired by Neuroscience with Manuel BlumColloquium | October 17 | 4-5 p.m. | Sutardja Dai Hall, Banatao Auditorium Manuel Blum, UC Berkeley Electrical Engineering and Computer Sciences (EECS) Thanks to major advances in neuroscience, we are on the brink of a scientific understanding of how the brain achieves consciousness. This talk will describe neuroscientist Bernard Baars' Global Workspace Model (GWM) of the brain, its implications for understanding consciousness, and a novel computer architecture that it inspires. The Model gives insight for the design of machines that truly...

Presented briefly with a group of elements, simultaneously or successively, observers report precisely the mean of a variety of set features, but are unaware of individual element values. This has been shown for both low and high level features, from circle size to facial expression. A remaining puzzle is how can the perceptual system... More > Vision to Action: Towards a Cellular-Resolution Atlas of the Zebrafish Visual and Visuomotor SystemSeminar: Neuroscience Seminar | October 29 | 4-5 p.m. | 125 Li Ka Shing Center Herwig Baier, Department Genes – Circuits – Behavior, Max Planck Institute of Neurobiology, 82152 Martinsried, Germany Neuroscience Institute, Helen Wills Understanding brain-wide neuronal dynamics and behavior requires a detailed map of the underlying circuit architecture. We built an interactive cellular-resolution atlas of the zebrafish brain, with a focus on the visual and visuomotor system, and generated from our dataset an inter-areal wiring diagram, which serves as ground truth for synapse-scale, electron microscopic reconstructions. We have... More > Wednesday, October 31, 2018Opportunities and challenges of high-field fMRI for neuroscience applicationsColloquium | October 31 | 10:30 a.m.-12 p.m. | 1104 Berkeley Way West Kendrick Kay, University of Minnesota, Twin Cities Neuroscience Institute, Helen Wills In this talk, Dr. Kendrick Kay will describe two recent projects that exploit functional magnetic resonance imaging (fMRI) at ultra-high magnetic field strength (7 Tesla). The first project consisted of whole-brain fMRI retinotopic mapping in 181 healthy adults, as part of the Human Connectome Project (T2*-weighted gradient-echo EPI, 1.6-mm isotropic resolution, 1-s TR, 85 slices, multiband...
