Inception Loops

We are using highly predictive deep learning models as in silico avatars of neural populations in visual cortex and analyse their nonlinear properties. Our goal is to find interpretable and experimentally verifiable computational principles of biological vision. We do this by synthesizing new stimuli for neuroscientific experiments in silico and verifying them in vivo with our collaboration partners. We call this cycle “Inception Loops”.
