Biology: Open Access: Interactive Applications in Biological Sciences

"The Machine Intelligence from Cortical Networks (MICrONS) program seeks to revolutionize machine learning by reverse-engineering the algorithms of the brain. It is an ambitious program to map the function and connectivity of cortical circuits, using high throughput imaging technologies, with the goal of providing insights into the computational principles that underlie cortical function in order to advance the next generation of machine learning algorithms."

"An unprecedented dataset of high resolution anatomical images of individual cells in mouse visual cortex, mapped on to their responses. This integrated view of function and structure lays a foundation for discovering the computational bases of cortical circuits."

"The MICrONS program aimed to close the performance gap between human analysts and automated pattern recognition systems by reverse-engineering the algorithms of the brain."

"Real science, real stories, and real data to engage students in exploring the living world."
