Congrats to Andrii Dashkovets—one of my students in #Ukraine—whose work using reinforcement learning to model human motor control in simulation has been accepted to a #NeurIPS workshop.

U of T Engineering News Brains, minds & machines: A new algorithm for decoding intelligence [photo of Laschowski in a lab with a machine and a whiteboard with formulas]

🧠 Imagine being able to control machines by thinking.

@drlaschowski.bsky.social (MIE) and his Computational Neuroscience Lab are working to make it possible. They've developed a new algorithm that could make brain decoding more accurate and efficient.

Join us December 5th at University of Toronto (in-person and online) for a special seminar by Dr. Aran Nayebi on reverse-engineering the brain and building neuroscience-inspired artificial intelligence.

Some things are bigger than science.

Brains, minds and machines: A new algorithm for decoding intelligence Algorithms developed by Professor Brokoslaw Laschowski (MIE) and his lab are being used to decode the brain and interface with machines

Imagine being able to control machines by thinking.

This communication link known as a brain-machine interface and a new algorithm developed in #UofT Prof. Brokoslaw Laschowski’s lab could soon make these interfaces more accurate and efficient. bit.ly/4qnMdDZ

Had a pleasure to give an invited talk at UCU on engrams and how they support various memory phenomena:

Imagine a brain decoding algorithm that could generalize across different subjects and tasks. Today, we’re one step closer to achieving that vision.

Looking forward to giving a talk on the latest developments in engram research 🧠
The main lecture will be in English, with a part on my own research in Ukrainian.

It was an honour to give the grand rounds talk this morning in the Department of Surgery at CHU Sainte-Justine and Université de Montréal.

Thank you for the invitation. #neuroAI #compneuro

Our clinical trial with Neuralink is officially underway! #neuroAI #compneuro @uhn.ca

Come join us at University of Toronto. We're hiring a Professor of computational cognitive neuroscience.

Are you a graduate student in #Ukraine interested in machine learning and neuroscience? My research lab at #UofT is now accepting applications for remote thesis supervision.

(1/3) #neuroAI #compneuro @vectorinstitute.ai @uoft.bsky.social @uoftcompsci.bsky.social @uhn.ca

I started in neuroscience. Then spent several years building artificial brains for robots. Now I'm back in neuroscience. Enjoy the journey.

#neuroscience #AI @utoronto.ca

What is the mind? What is intelligence? In our lab, we’re working to answer these questions by reverse-engineering the brain.

#neuroscience #neuroAI #AI #compneuro @utoronto.ca @uhn.ca

Apply by August 25. We’re especially recruiting students who want to build neural mechanistic models and study topics such as mechanistic interpretability and representation alignment between biological and artificial neural networks.

Wrapped up 2 intense weeks at #NeuroAI by @neuromatch.bsky.social! 🚀
Our team explored how RNNs encode spatial memory — and found they implicitly learn a discrete spatial layout.

#IBB shared some highlights from their visit to @sjo09.bsky.social lab. It was rewarding to see how much interest was sparked by #engrams as well as #ML and #NeuroAI 🧠✨

Shoutout to @mhsarikahya.bsky.social & other JF lab members!
