A Lee & Nile Albright Annual Symposium: The Mind of a Fly with the Prophet of the Connectome, Dr. Sebastian Seung

Over a decade ago, Dr. Sebastian Seung foretold the future of neuroscience in his popular TED talk and book. Now the future has arrived. Neuroscientists have achieved a remarkable milestone: a complete map of the 140,000 neurons in a fruit fly brain. This “fly connectome” was hailed as revolutionary—but can a digital map of a dead brain, however intricate, really reveal the mind of a fly? Join us at the Museum of Science, Boston for the Lee and Nile Albright Annual Symposium, featuring visionary neuroscientist Dr. Sebastian Seung, Professor of Neuroscience and Computer Science at Princeton University. In this captivating program, Dr. Seung will unveil the dazzling beauty of neural networks and guide us in deciphering their meaning—helping us understand what such maps can (and can’t) tell us about the workings of a mind. Dr. Seung will also explain how citizen scientists collaborated alongside professional scientists in FlyWire, the online community that proofread and annotated the fly connectome. Don’t miss this extraordinary evening of science, discovery, and imagination as Dr. Seung shares how cutting-edge research—and a global community of gamers—are helping unlock the secrets of the brain.
