Fascinating work by #Stanford University on #AI #DigitalTwin for the mouse visual cortex. These models predict neural responses to *new* visual inputs! 🧠🤖

Highlights AI's potential (& immense complexity) in modeling intricate biological systems. Could massively accelerate #Neuroscience via virtual experiments – a 'flight simulator' for brain research, helping understand intelligence. Foundational work with far-reaching implications.

"Prosecutors on Thursday announced felony charges against 12 pro-Palestinian protesters — all but one current and former Stanford students or graduates — who in June allegedly broke into and vandalized a Stanford University administration building, barricading themselves inside before being arrested that same day.
