AI models of the brain could serve as ‘digital twins’ in research

Accurate predictions

These digital twins were able to closely simulate the neural activity of their biological counterparts in response to a variety of new visual stimuli, including videos and static images. The large quantity of aggregated training data was key to the digital twins’ success, Tolias said. “They were impressively accurate because they were trained on such large datasets.”

Though trained only on neural activity, the new models…
