A brilliant journey through biological and artificial minds, exploring the intersection between Machine Learning and Neuroscience.

Why can't you tickle yourself? How do you know where you are? Why do DeepDream images look so trippy? Why does trauma come in waves, washing over us again and again? Computational neuroscience provides insight into these questions and more. 

In visually lush presentation, we'll go on a journey through biological and artificial minds, exploring how models of cognition informed by machine learning and computation can help us illuminate and reconfigure our own processes of being.

WebGL lets you unlock the power of your GPU. In principle, you can paint almost anything you can dream of. In practice, WebGL is hard, and though projects like three.js make it easier, there are still a lot of hurdles to integrating it into your site in a practical way.

Let's explore how Hooks can make it easier to integrate powerful GPU-driven visuals into our React apps, giving us the best of both worlds: the power of WebGL with the ease and expressiveness of a React component tree.

The fundamental building blocks of AI have never been more accessible. Find out how deep learning systems learn and examine how they think. 

It’s clear by now that the robots are coming for us.

Breakthroughs in AI fill our streams and news feeds, themselves the products of machine learning, the echoing algorithmic screams of a new kind of mind being born.

Using deeplearn.js, we’ll find out how deep learning systems learn and examine how they think. 

The fundamental building blocks of AI have never been more accessible. Let’s explore the architecture of these new minds, which are growing to mediate our every interaction.
