Machine learning and Artificial Intelligence – Two terms often used interchangeably and both rapidly becoming invaluable tools in neuroscience research. But what are they? What is the difference between them? How are they being used in modern brain research and more importantly, would you allow your medical treatment to be altered based on their findings? Join us for an interdisciplinary panel discussion, where we will explore these questions and more as we are joined by three neuroscientists actively using these tools to support their research across the lifespan. Dr Duncan Astle (MRC Cognition and Brain Sciences Unit) works specifically on brain development in children, Dr Sarah Morgan (Psychiatry/Computer Science & Technology) is using machine learning approaches, network science and natural language processing to better understand mental health conditions and Mr Stephen Price (Clinical Neurosciences) is developing AI methods to study brain tumours to learn which are at risk of growth versus those at lower risk. Our panellists, chaired by Professor Tamsin Ford (Psychiatry), will endeavour to dispel the mystery surrounding the terminology and explain how these tools are being specifically used to support modern neuroscience research and ultimately being used in the clinic.
This event will be in-person (booking required), and also live-streamed on our festival YouTube channel.
