Hello!
My name is Michael Porter, I’m a Teacher from Hampton Roads Virginia. I am looking to pursue the development of Advanced Artificial General Intelligence by mapping the human brain and studying the nature of consciousness.
Hello Everyone,
My name is Shivaprasad, and I am a second-year undergrad at IIIT Nagpur , Maharashtra. I’m fascinated enough to join this Neurostars community.
My passion is Machine Learning, and with a recent growth in interest for Neuroscience. I’ve been spending most of my time learning about Deep leanring, and I’m particularly fascinated by how we can use generative models to understand and work with complex biological data. Tracing the origin of deep learning, I got to read “The Perceptron” (1958) research paper by Rosenblatt, where the first perceptron was inspired by the brain itself.
Recently, for a research project, I’ve been developing a Generative Adversarial Network (GAN) I’ve called RANGE-GAN, with a goal of creating high-fidelity synthetic EEG signals. The aim of this work is to help augment datasets for brain-computer interface (BCI) research, and this project has truly ignited my interest in the broader field of neuroinformatics. Beyond this, I’m also exploring the latest developments in NLP and GenAI.
As I’m preparing for GSoC and looking for ways to contribute, I’ve been exploring INCF’s past project ideas. I’m very impressed by the work on data standards and simulation tools. As someone with good background in PyTorch but new to the specific standards in this field, I was wondering if anyone could point me to a good starting point? For example, are there any key repositories or tutorials for understanding the practical implementation of standards like BIDS or NWB that would be beneficial for a newcomer to tackle?
Thank you for building such a welcoming community; I’m really looking forward to learning from all of you.
Best Regards,
Shivaprasad.
Hello everyone!
I am Mahima Elsa Joji, a first year PhD student at the Department of Cognitive and Brain Sciences at the Indian Institute of Technology (IIT), Gandhinagar. I am deeply interested to understand the brain dynamics across higher-order cognitive processes and its disruption in neurological conditions. Currently, I am exploring the organization and alteration of brain networks in people with Schizophrenia. I aim to improve my knowledge and believe that my questions would resolve by working with you!
Hello! I’m an Associate Trauma Therapist (MSW) with experience in trauma recovery, somatic healing, and research coordination. My interests center on the neurobiology of trauma, embodied neuroscience, near-death experiences, and cultural influences on healing. I’m preparing for doctoral study in Clinical Psychology with a neuroscience focus, aiming to bridge research and practice in trauma and consciousness.
