⭐KEYNOTE: How can I be wrong so often in my thinking about brains?

Konrad Körding, Ph. DAuditorio Carlos Graef

In my talk I will discuss why thinking about the brain seems so mindbogglingly complicated to me. I will start discussing the kinds of models that may produce an understanding of brains and what kind of an understanding they promise. Lastly, I will talk about the underlying processes we use to obtain experimental evidence for the various models.

Konrad Kording runs his lab at the University of Pennsylvania. Konrad is interested in the question of how the brain solves the credit assignment problem and similarly how we should assign credit in the real world (through causality). In extension of this main thrust he is interested in applications of causality in biomedical research. Konrad has trained as student at ETH Zurich with Peter Konig, as postdoc at UCL London with Daniel Wolpert and at MIT with Josh Tenenbaum. After a decade at Northwestern University he is now PIK professor at UPenn.
