DESCRIPTION:Combining deep learning and primate electrophysiology to unders
 tand reach and grasp control\n\nJonathan Michaels\, University of Western 
 Ontario\n	Tuesday April 6\, 12-1pm\n	Zoom Link: https:/mcgill.zoom.us/j/9158
 9192037\n\nAbstract: Whether it’s picking up a cup or deftly slotting a ke
 y into a lock\, we appear to move our arms and hands with ease. While huma
 ns do these tasks easily – we have not developed artificial systems with t
 he same level of skill. Nonetheless\, in recent years we have progressed g
 reatly in our understanding of AI/robotics as well as the nervous system. 
 The goal of my research is to understand how the nervous system controls o
 ur arms and hands with this incredible level of flexibility\, how sensory 
 information supports this control\, and what computational principles guid
 e the acquisition of these skills. In this talk\, I will present my recent
  work developing neural network models of the primate grasping system to p
 rovide insight into how the brain coordinates grasping and lay out how we 
 can use tools from AI to help understand the brain.\n
