Dr Eunchai Kang's research group utilises cutting-edge technologies such as neural stem cell cultures, and 3D-brain organoids combined with pharmacological and genetic editing to understand how the brain develops during normal and pathological conditions. Dr Kang will also give some tips on how to become a neuroscience researcher and there will be opportunities to ask questions as well!

We really hope to see you there! ๐Ÿง

You may also join us virtually on Google Meet if you can't make it in person (๐Ÿ‘‰๐Ÿปlink on our page)

The paper we have chosen for this session focuses on cellular intelligence, specifically on how neurons behave in a simulated game world, mimicking the arcade game 'Pong'. You don't need to read the paper beforehand as our committee members will prepare a presentation summarising the main findings of the article
(๐Ÿ‘‰๐Ÿปlink to the article on our page)

In the second half of the meeting, we will be having a discussion on the paper itself and more broadly on the mechanisms of learning and the importance of closed-loop feedback systems in synthetic biological intelligence.
This is a very thought-provoking topic and a great opportunity to improve your critical appraisal skills and network with other neuroscience enthusiasts.

We look forward to seeing you there!๐Ÿง
