Using Deep Learning to make Better Models of the Brain

ERC Consolidator Grant for Tübingen AI researcher Professor Jakob Macke

Tübingen AI researcher, Professor Jakob Macke, is aiming to use Deep Learning methods to build new neuronal networks at the intersection of neuroscience and machine learning. The project ‘DeepCoMechTome’, which is receiving close to two million euros from the European Research Council, is focused on the brain of the fruit fly Drosophila melanogaster. The fruit fly’s brain has over 100,000 nerve cells and several million connections.
