The Neuroengineering Matinee took place the morning of the 16th of January at the Vorhoelzer Forum. Led by Professor Jakob Macke, two guest talks were held:
- Patrick van der Smagt, Volkswagen: Latent Optimal Control
- Srinivas Turaga, HHMI’s Janelia Research Campus: Connecting the Structure and Function of Neural Circuits
Afterwards, MSNE students held a presentation and poster session, introducing the audience to the research projects carried out during the program:
- Christoph Kocher: Measuring effective connectivity with convolutional neural networks
- Pranshul Saini: The effect of intensive meditation training on cognitive functioning during Stroop task
- Yagmur Yener: Fully Automated Reconstruction of Glia and their Relationship with Neurons
- Elisa Pavarino: Connectome of the newborn nerve
- Jonas Braun: Uncovering muscle population dynamics of locomotion using LFADS
Finally, the members of the neuroengineering community further discussed the topics of interest while enjoying snacks and drinks.
