The quest for the cortical algorithm

The cortical algorithm hypothesis states that there is one common computational framework to solve diverse cognitive problems such as vision, voice recognition and motion control. In my talk, I propose a strategy to guide the search for this algorithm and I present a few ideas on how some of its components might look like. I'll explain why a highly interdisciplinary approach is needed from neuroscience, computer science, mathematics and physics to make further progress in this important question.

A developmental-cognitive perspective on the impact of adolescent social media use

Concerns about the impact of social media use on adolescent well-being and mental health are common. While the amount of research in this area has increased rapidly over the last 5 years, most outputs are still marred by a multitude of limitations. These shortcomings have left our understanding of social media effects severely limited, holding back both scientific discovery and policy interventions. This talk discusses how developmental, cognitive and neuroscientific approaches might provide a new and improved way of studying social media effects. It will detail new studies in support of this idea, and raise potential avenues for collaborative work across the Cambridge Neuroscience community. As the digital world now (re)shapes what it means for us to live, communicate and develop, only an interdisciplinary approach will allow us to truly understand its impacts.
