Brain Imaging

Leanne Williams explores how brain imaging could help explain biological differences among people with similar mental-health symptoms. She describes research on brain-network patterns in depression and the possibility of using those measurements to support more individualized diagnosis and treatment.

Cory Shain discusses efforts to map language processing in individual brains with greater precision. Combining measurements from different recording methods, the research aims to explain how people understand and produce language and to inform future technologies for restoring communication.

1. Can we reconstruct images that a person saw, directly from their fMRI brain recordings? 2. Can we reconstruct the training data that a deep-network trained on, directly from the parameters of the network? The answer to both of these intriguing questions is “Yes!” In this talk I will present some of our work in both domains. I will then show how combining the power of Brains and Machines can lead to significant breakthroughs in both areas, and potentially bridge the gap between Minds and Machines. Finally, I will show how combining the power of Multiple Brains (with NO shared data) may lead to new breakthrough discoveries in Brain-Science, and allow mapping of information between different brains. Presented in the van Vreeswijk Theoretical Neuroscience Seminar series (formerly WWTNS) on 2026-02-18. Recording duration: 00:50:24.
