Dude, I already knew all of the thing you said in the video, but watching you telling it makes me realize how amazing it is. What a great time to live when you can be one who can create something like that. Not like other science field where almost all cool thing is already done.
This was my first attempt at content creation like this and I've definitely learned a lot since. I appreciate the feedback and I know that I've heard different reports on the sound quality depending on what's being used to listen to it. I'll take it into consideration for new videos!
It's quite possible I'm not a cyborg at all and just a sentient machine... haha I'm really glad you liked the video! Working on some new stuff now that builds on this a little that I'll hopefully have out in the near future.
Are there any essential pre-requisites to get into a Computational Neuroscience program? I'm about to do a BSc in Information Systems but whilst I still enjoy working with computers, neuroscience is my true passion and I feel Computational Neuroscience might be a good mix of the two. I might look into doing a Masters on it if possible since I find it very interesting, particularly the part about learning about the brain and restoring function.
hi dude, I'm currently doing bachelors in computer science which is going to end this year. My interest is to become a computational neuroscientist, so can please suggest me any thing about that. is it ok to move on in this field or what is the roadmap to follow for going into this field, And yes thanks for sharing this useful info.
I'm glad that you found the information useful! I would say that the best thing you can do currently is to try to get some research experience before you graduate because that looks really good on a grad application. You can reach out to labs at your institution and ask if they need research assistants. I would then think about what it is about the brain that you actually want to study (the topics covered in this video is a good start but you can check out my cog neuro lectures if you want a deeper dive into the possibility space). When you find a topic that you're interested in then you need to find out who is researching those topics and start to think about who you may want to work with and where you would want to live during grad school. One of the best places to find professors that are doing the work that you want to do is to look at websites from conferences that explore those topics and look at the programs from previous years to see who has given talks at them. I hope this helps! Let me know if you have any questions.
@@ARkhan-xw8ud Develop a solid understanding of the statistics that run the algorithms and that will give you a lot of power going into comp neuro. Learning the brain stuff is all about understanding the type of data that you're then feeding into the algorithms that you are familiar with.
Look up “sparse coding using memristor networks” It’s the same science jack gallant is using, only now it can truly be done remotely over quantum neural networks because the quantum neural network is itself a memristor based Network And the vision reconstruction is done directly in the memristor circuit
I don't know if I would say that its the best time because of the need for AGI but I would say that its the best time to study the brain because we have the technology now to do so. AGI would be a nice byproduct of researching the brain but there are also lots of things that we can discover that will help us understand ourselves better as well.
I hope mankind never gets to a point where we're capable of "reading" the minds of people on the streets. I find that idea to be the pretty amusing. I'm in high school and I have to start thinking about a future career. Computational neuroscience has recently piqued my interest. This video gave me a better understanding of what it may entail, so thanks for that
I think we are a very far way off from actual mind reading, especially outside of a fancy 2 million dollar magnet. I don't think we are ever going to get to 1984 type thought police kind of mind reading but I do very much see a possible future where brain computer interfaces are more common and certain types of thoughts are being decoded to run certain kinds of programs. I'm glad that you liked the video though and hope that it helped highlight some of what is being done in the field!
Glad to hear your pursuing a career in the field! It's hard to give any specific recommendations without knowing more about what you specifically want to use these tools to study. Machine learning algorithms are now being applied by a huge range of neuroscientists to study every facet of cognition that you can think of. It depends on whether you're interested more in using computational methods to understand the brain better or if instead you want to be more involved in the process of reverse engineering the brain to make more sophisticated technology.
I hope it wasn't too distracting haha Still have a lot to learn and improve with the editing and camera angles but I hope you liked the content! I'll hopefully have more out soon.
There are tons of online tutorials for different types of analyses and also lots and lots of free data available to the general public. Depending on what your comfortability is with programming languages like python or R, you could probably get an analysis up and running in a few months. It would probably take at least 6-8 months though of reading into and learning about the methodology before you really had a good grasp on what exactly the code is doing in the tutorials that you're working from and why its important to account for and correct for certain noise and error confounds. I hope this helps!
@@thecellularrepublic9844 Thanks, this clears alot of confusion. If you were to create a hypothetical accelerated syllabus to be job ready in those 8 months what would you suggest ? E.g do I learn some math first or start directly with coding ? What parts of theory are the most important now in the market and should be mastered first ?e.t.c
@@megadero8407 Something that would help me a lot is if I knew more about what direction you are thinking about going. Are you talking about being ready to start a graduate program doing this kind of work or are you talking more about going directly into an industry position that does similar work?
@@thecellularrepublic9844 Going directly into industry i.e being able to get skills that people pay for in the field like freelance work type of thing if its possible
@@megadero8407 There's freelance computational neuroscience work in industry? I always thought it was a field of ML PhDs in big tech, Bio/molecular PhDs doing drug discovery for big pharma, and EE PhDs making prosthetics

Thank you for this amaaaazing video!! The way you express your fascination for this topic is just contagious
I'm so glad you enjoyed it and that you think this stuff is as cool as I do!
Difficult to watch the video comfortably when the recording volume is low but the transition music is super loud with deep bass

Love this! Also somewhat related: the circle light that lights up your face reflects in your pupil making you look like a cyborg (Skynet?).

I'm in the process of applying to graduate school for Computational neuroscience, very exciting. Thanks for this great video :)
I'm really glad that you enjoyed it! Best of luck with the grad school application process and I hope you go on to make a big impact in the field.

Anyone truly interested in the science look up optogenetic nanoparticles because now all of it can be done remotely over a quantum network
I know about optogenetics but haven't seen much about nanoparticles or quantum networks. I'll have to check it out!

great vid btw

Hi Man,Do you think this is the best time in history to study about brain than ever before because of the need of Artificial General Intelligence?
