Information flow in the cortex is classically considered as feedforward-hierarchical computation. However, recent findings have started to reveal rather parallel and distributed processing. Dr. Kato will discuss his team's work studying parallel sensory pathways across the primary and higher auditory cortices in extracting complex sound features.

Speaker: Graeme Smith, Associate Professor, Department of Physics, University of Colorado Boulder
-
Receive an overview of laboratory safety from Stephanie Hess, a director in the Division of Research Safety.
-
Brains can be modeled as functional networks, where interregional connections and their weights are estimated as a correlations. Dr. Betzel will present an approach for exactly decomposing these connections (edges) into their time-varying contributions. This approach yields framewise estimates of networks across time and can be used to estimate the novel construct of "edge

Speaker: Louis Schatzki, Chitambar Group, Department of Electrical and Computer Engineering, UIUC
-
The liver is crucial for maintaining whole body energy balance. Dr. Moore's lab found FXR and PPARα also regulate processes that are not related to metabolic pathways but are central to liver energy balance. Dr. Moore's presentation will focus on the previously described roles of FXR and PPARα in control of autophagy and recent results on control of liver secretome.
-
The Quantum Information Revolution is in full swing, and entanglement — the spooky nonclassical, nonlocal connection that can be shared by quantum particles — is the key ingredient. In this talk, Dr. Kwiat will discuss how to create (photon) entanglement, and several applications for secure communication and quantum-enhanced sensing.
-
Marianne Alleyne will speak at the Beckman Institute's virtual Director's Seminar at noon Thursday, Oct. 13. Alleyne, assistant professor in the Department of Entomology, will be discussing "Insects did it first: multifunctionality of surfaces and structures." Please indicate whether you will attend virtually or in-person.

-
In this talk, Dr. Lamoureux will present his team's contributions to the development of unified “sequence-to-structure-to-function” models based on deep neural networks. These models aim at predicting how proteins assemble and interact with one another using molecular representations learned from high-throughput PPI data.
-
Professor Gruebele will discuss a few topics of current interest, ranging from specialization in science, to grand discoveries waiting to happen, to how making and using fossil fuels better is a big part of the equation, or the fundamental-applied pendulum that is currently swinging ‘applied.'

Gaining an understanding of the neural circuits essential to social behavior in rodents can be challenging due to the need for relatively unconstrained experiments. Robots can be used as a tool for understanding social encounters with other rats and for gaining an understanding of the coordinated dynamics of neural circuits involved in social appraisal.
