Lada published a paper titled “Individual variability in brain representations of pain” on Nature Neuroscience (30 May 2022) and made a video abstract for the paper.


신인류 (신경과학과 인공지능의 유별난 만남) 유튜브 채널 오픈

Through this 신인류 youtube channel, we will discuss human-level artificial intelligence from the perspective of neuroscience, cognitive science, and psychology.

생로병사의 비밀 20주년 특별기획

저희 연구실이 KBS 생로병사의 비밀, 20주년 특별기획 인체로드, 제3편 신경과 통증의 길에 출연하였습니다. 저희가 하는 통증 연구의 의미를 다시 한번 배울 수 있는 시간이었습니다. 눈에 보이지 않는 통증을 뇌영상을 통해 보여줄 수 있을까요?


사피엔스 스튜디오 논문 읽어드립니다

좋은 기회로 저희 연구실이 사피엔스 스튜디오에 출연하게 되었습니다. “Where does value come from? 가치는 어디에서 오는가?” TICS Juechems & Summerfield 2019 논문을 읽어드렸습니다. 내재적 가치를 지닌 AI, 과연 가능할까요?


Toward Interoceptive Artificial Intelligence

지난 2년간의 고민과 노력 끝에 첫번째로 세상에 내놓은 인공지능(AI) talk!! 두 랩의 학생들이 열심히 집중해서 공부하고 토론하고 있으니 좋은 결실로 맺어질 거라 확신합니다. 인간과 인공지능이 공존하는 미래를 위해서는 이제 neuroscience-inspired AI를 넘어서서 interoceptive AI, 더 나아가 life-inspired AI로 나아가야 할 때라 생각하며 연구하고 있습니다.
약 10분쯤 그림이 하나 깨졌습니다. 아래의 내용이었습니다. 참고하셔요~
“Interoception = monitoring how our model is doing well (through prediction and prediction error)”

Wani’s talk at Organization for Human Brain Mapping (OHBM 2021)

Title: “When self comes to a wandering mind: Brain representations and affective dynamics of spontaneous thought”


Cocoan 101

Last semester, we made a collective effort to make video lectures (a total of 110 videos, > 28 hours total duration) to provide newcomers to the lab with the basic knowledge about what we are doing in the lab, called Cocoan 101. It covers from the lab philosophy, doing experiments, fMRI preprocessing, advanced fMRI analysis methods and to further study materials and key papers. So many gems here. We decided not to post the playlist link online (in a public place), but we allow sharing the link personally. So if you are interested in watching the Cocoan 101, send a note to any lab members to share the link. I am so proud of this!!
