bionic-vision.org | Research Spotlights | Jan Antolik Prof. Jan Antolik’s path into computational neuroscience began in artificial intelligence, at a time when the field was far from its current prominence. What started as a detour to better understand…

From the AI winter to vision restoration. 👁️ 🧠

@janantolik.bsky.social on building models that take biology seriously and why we still don’t understand how stimulation turns into perception. That gap matters:

Real brains have messy, heterogeneous neural tuning - and that’s a feature, not a bug. We show how heterogeneity boosts encoded information 🚀. Swing by poster [1-019] at tonight’s #cosyne26 to see how.
