Drei Menschen, drei Promotionen, ein Podcast. Mit "I am Scientist" begleiten Daniel Hölle, Philipp Hubert und Lisa Schmors Promovierende – nicht nur.

Lisa integrates machine learning and neuroscience to study how brain states and neural mechanisms process sensory information. A key achievement in her journey is developing a data-efficient vision mo...

A growing body of papers on systems neuroscience and on giant simulations of neural circuits involves data beyond the point that anyone can reasonably understand end to end. Looking ahead, “paper-bots...

Large language models such as OpenAI’s o1 have electrified the debate over achieving artificial general intelligence, or AGI. But they are unlikely to reach this milestone on their own.
