Book a call, or get in touch!My Intuitive Bayes Online Courses1:1 Mentorship with meThis is another installment in our neuroscience modeling series! This time, I talked with Konrad Kording, about the role of Bayesian stats in neuroscience and psychology, electrophysiological data to study what neurons do, and how this helps explain human behavior.Konrad studied at ETH Zurich, then went to UC London and MIT for his postdocs. After a decade at Northwestern University, he is now Penn Integrated Knowledge Professor at the University of Pennsylvania.As you’ll hear, Konrad is particularly 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). Building on this, he is also interested in applications of causality in biomedical research.And… he’s also a big hiker, skier and salsa dancer!Our theme music is « Good Bayesian », by Baba Brinkman (feat MC Lars and Mega Ran).
