Stanford Scientists Use AI to Create a 'Digital Twin' of the Brain

Stanford scientists have used artificial intelligence to create a "digital twin" of the brain. This digital twin model was trained on a large dataset of neural activity recorded as real mice watched movie clips. Once trained, it can accurately predict the responses of tens of thousands of neurons to new images and videos. The digital twin could make it easier and more efficient to study the inner workings of the brain. "If you have a very accurate model of the brain, that means you can do more experiments," said Dr. Andreas Tolias, a professor of ophthalmology at Stanford University and senior author of the study published in the journal Nature on April 10. "Then, you can test the most promising of those models in real brains." The lead author of the study is Eric Wang, a medical student at Baylor College of Medicine...
