DESCRIPTION:Neurogenesis Speaker Series\n\nWednesday\, February 5\, 2025\n	4
 :30–5:30 p.m. (with post-event reception)\n\nThe Neurogenesis Speaker Seri
 es will give you the opportunity to get to know HBHL’s new recruits firsth
 and\, learn about their research\, ask questions and network with your pee
 rs during the post-event reception.\n\nEach event in this series will feat
 ure two HBHL faculty recruits whose research areas provide an interesting 
 contrast or intersection for discussion.\n\nFebruary Speakers: \n\n\n	Paul 
 Masset\, PhD - 'Distributed reinforcement learning in the brain'\n	Pouya Ba
 shivan\, PhD - 'What does spatial tuning tell us about the neural code in 
 the hippocampus?'\n\n\nPlaces are limited. Secure your spot today!\n\n\nSp
 eakers\n\n\n	Paul Masset\n\n	Paul Masset is an Assistant Professor in the De
 partment of Psychology at ºÚÁϲ»´òìÈ University and an Affiliate member at Mil
 a - Quebec Artificial Intelligence Institute\, working at the intersection
  of neuroscience\, AI and cognitive science. The focus of his research gro
 up is to understand how the structure of neural circuits endows the brain 
 with efficient distributed computations underlying cognition and how we ca
 n leverage these principles to design more efficient learning algorithms. 
 Prior to joining ºÚÁϲ»´òìÈ\, he was a Postdoctoral Fellow at Harvard Universi
 ty. He obtained his PhD at Cold Spring Harbor Laboratory\, his Masters in 
 Cognitive Science at the École des hautes études en sciences sociales (EHE
 SS) and his M.Eng/B.A. in Information and Computer Engineering at the Univ
 ersity of Cambridge.\n\n	Pouya Bashivan\n\n	Pouya Bashivan is an Assistant P
 rofessor at the Department of Physiology at ºÚÁϲ»´òìÈ University\, an associa
 te member of Mila - Quebec Artificial Intelligence Institute and a William
  Dawson Scholar. Bashivan’s past research has spanned the fields of contro
 l theory\, machine learning and neuroscience. The research in his group is
  at the intersection of artificial neural networks and neuroscience and is
  focused on developing computational models of visual processing in the pr
 imate brain with a focus on visual memory. Specifically\, he uses artifici
 al neural network models trained to perform ecologically-relevant tasks to
  model the cortical responses in primate’s brain. His ultimate research go
 al is to leverage the predictive power in such models of brain activity to
  modulate the brain’s function in disease.\n\n
