S6E4: Joel Ye: Examining Neural Data More Efficiently and Holistically

Understanding how the brain works remains a grand scientific challenge, and it's yet another area where researchers are examining whether foundation models could help them find patterns in complex data. Joel Ye of Carnegie Mellon University talks about his work on foundation models, their potential and limitations and how others can get involved in applying these AI tools. Joel Ye is a Ph.D. student in the program in neural computation at Carnegie Mellon University in Pittsburgh, where he studies ways to understand brain data and brain-computer interfaces. He's a third-year Department of Energy Computational Science Graduate Fellow.
