About this event
NeuroAI is a series of themed talks organised by the UCL NeuroAI community. This month's speaker is Grace Lindsay (New York University).
Talk title: "Attention in Psychology, Neuroscience, and Machine Learning"
Abstract: I will discuss two related studies. The first is a review of the concept of attention in biological and artificial intelligence https://www.frontiersin.org/articles/10.3389/fncom.2020.00029/full. The second is a modeling study showing how the neural mechanisms of visual attention enhance perceptual performance https://elifesciences.org/articles/38105.
