Kenneth Harris

Kenneth Harris, a Professor at University College London, discusses the groundbreaking study he co-authored on population codes in the visual cortex. He explores how modern techniques allow us to analyze thousands of neurons simultaneously, revealing unique ways groups of neurons encode information. The conversation dives into the significance of efficiency and sparsity in neural coding and the impact of AI tools on neuroscience data analysis. Harris also addresses the integration of mathematical methods in decoding complex neural responses and the role of distinct neuron types in visual processing.
