Abstract

Computational neuroscience and AI research have a rich, intertwined history, epitomized by recent and earlier Nobel laureates bridging these two fields. In this seminar, I will trace two such lineages through my own academic family tree, to illustrate how the fields have come together. I will then discuss ongoing efforts in my lab to compare the cognitive and neural mechanisms of decision-making, navigation, and learning under uncertainty between artificial and natural intelligence, to suggest a future direction for the field.

BIO

Yul is an assistant professor at the Department of Bio and Brain Engineering at KAIST. He became interested in how the brain works while studying at Summer/Winter Schools for the International Olympiad in Informatics. After receiving an MD at Seoul National University and a PhD in Neuroscience at Columbia University supervised by Michael Shadlen, he worked as a postdoctoral associate at Computational and Biological Learning Lab with Máté Lengyel at Cambridge University where he also served as a junior research fellow at Wolfson College. He worked as a lecturer at Queen Mary University of London, before he moved to KAIST.
