    Opportunities for US-Israeli Collaborations in Computational Neuroscience

    Opportunities for US-Israeli Collaborations in Computational Neuroscience Report of a Binational Workshop* Larry Abbott and Naftali Tishby Introduction Both Israel and the United States have played and continue to play leading roles in the rapidly developing field of computational neuroscience, and both countries have strong interests in fostering collaboration in emerging research areas. A workshop was convened by the US-Israel Binational Science Foundation and the US National Science Foundation to discuss opportunities to encourage and support interdisciplinary collaborations among scientists from the US and Israel, centered around computational neuroscience. Seven leading experts from Israel and six from the US (Appendix 2) met in Jerusalem on November 14, 2012, to evaluate and characterize such research opportunities, and to generate suggestions and ideas about how best to proceed. The participants were asked to characterize the potential scientific opportunities that could be expected from collaborations between the US and Israel in computational neuroscience, and to discuss associated opportunities for training, applications, and other broader impacts, as well as practical considerations for maximizing success. Computational Neuroscience in the United States and Israel The computational research communities in the United States and Israel have both contributed significantly to the foundations of and advances in applying mathematical analysis and computational approaches to the study of neural circuits and behavior. This shared intellectual commitment has led to productive collaborations between US and Israeli researchers, and strong ties between a number of institutions in Israel and the US. These scientific collaborations are built on over 30 years of visits and joint publications and the results have been extremely influential.

Garwin at Celebrating an Exemplary Life September 19, 2005 Cornell University I recount1 some early interactions I had with Hans, beginning in 1951. Hans had led the Theoretical Division at Los Alamos from 1943 to 1945, and despite his antagonism to the hydrogen bomb, was willing to turn his talents to learning whether it could be done or not, which was his role when we interacted in the summer of 1951. In May of 1951 my wife and I and our infant son went to Los Alamos for the second summer, where I would continue to work mostly on nuclear weapons. I was at that time an Assistant Professor at the University of Chicago and had spent the summer of 1950 at the Los Alamos Laboratory, sharing an office with my colleague and mentor Enrico Fermi—Hans Bethe's mentor in Rome as well. When I returned in 1951, and asked Edward Teller, another University of Chicago colleague, what was new and what I could do, he asked me to devise an experiment to confirm the principle of "radiation implosion," then very secret, that he and Ulam had invented that February. In May 1951, the young physicists Marshall Rosenbluth and Conrad Longmire were trying to do actual calculations on this method for using the energy from an ordinary fission bomb to compress and heat fusion fuel-- that is, heavy hydrogen (deuterium). I decided that the most convincing experiment would be a full-scale hydrogen bomb, so I set about designing that.

    Neural Dynamics and the Geometry of Population Activity

    Neural Dynamics and the Geometry of Population Activity Abigail A. Russo Submitted in partial fulfillment of the requirements for the degree of Doctor of Philosophy under the Executive Committee of the Graduate School of Arts and Sciences COLUMBIA UNIVERSITY 2019 © 2019 Abigail A. Russo All Rights Reserved Abstract Neural Dynamics and the Geometry of Population Activity Abigail A. Russo A growing body of research indicates that much of the brain’s computation is invisible from the activity of individual neurons, but instead instantiated via population-level dynamics. According to this ‘dynamical systems hypothesis’, population-level neural activity evolves according to underlying dynamics that are shaped by network connectivity. While these dynamics are not directly observable in empirical data, they can be inferred by studying the structure of population trajectories. Quantification of this structure, the ‘trajectory geometry’, can then guide thinking on the underlying computation. Alternatively, modeling neural populations as dynamical systems can predict trajectory geometries appropriate for particular tasks. This approach of characterizing and interpreting trajectory geometry is providing new insights in many cortical areas, including regions involved in motor control and areas that mediate cognitive processes such as decision-making. In this thesis, I advance the characterization of population structure by introducing hypothesis-guided metrics for the quantification of trajectory geometry. These metrics, trajectory tangling in primary motor cortex and trajectory divergence in the Supplementary Motor Area, abstract away from task- specific solutions and toward underlying computations and network constraints that drive trajectory geometry. Primate motor cortex (M1) projects to spinal interneurons and motoneurons, suggesting that motor cortex activity may be dominated by muscle-like commands.

  • Mozart and Quantum Mechanics: an Appreciation of Victor Weisskopf

    Mozart and Quantum Mechanics: an Appreciation of Victor Weisskopf

    Physics Today Volume 56, No. 2, 43-47 (February 2003) Mozart and Quantum Mechanics: An Appreciation of Victor Weisskopf Weisskopf had a rare and harmonious blend of sentiment and intellectual rigor. He liked to say that his favorite occupations were Mozart and quantum mechanics. Kurt Gottfried and J. David Jackson Figure 1: Victor Weisskopf at about age 20 (photo courtesy of Duscha Scott Weisskopf) Victor Frederick Weisskopf, who died on 21 April 2002, was a leading figure in the second generation of theoretical physicists who expanded the reach of quantum mechanics following its discovery in 1925-26. That discovery proved to be the most profound and swift turning point in the history of physics since the time of Isaac Newton. Born in Vienna on 19 September 1908, Viki, as he was called by all who knew him, was too young to do original research in those first watershed years. But, like other outstanding members of his remarkable cohort, Viki was a fast study. He published his first landmark paper1 at the age of 22. Viki was eventually to become a major actor in a wide variety of settings, but all these roles were consequences of his achievements as a creative scientist. Therefore we devote here considerable attention to his contributions to fundamental theoretical physics. As a teenager, Viki became fascinated with astronomy and proudly listed a paper on the Perseid showers, based on a night's observation when he was not yet 15, as his first publication.2 The rich artistic and intellectual ambiance of pre-Nazi Vienna was to deeply influence his interests and attitudes throughout his life.3 Among his passions was music.

Theory in motion Few scientific disciplines enjoy such a close connection with mathematics as particle physics, and at the heart of this relationship lies quantum field theory. Quantum electrodynamics famously predicts quantities, such as the anomalous magnetic moment of the electron, which agree with observations at the level of 10 decimal places, while the Higgs boson existed on paper half a century before the Large Hadron Collider (LHC) flushed it out for real. Driven by the strong performance of the LHC experiments, there has been a burst of activity in recent months concerning next-to-next-to-leading order (NNLO) calculations in quantum chromodynamics to ensure that theory keeps up with the precision of LHC measurements. As the cover feature in this issue explains, cracking the complex NNLO problem demands novel algorithms, mathematical ingenuity and computational muscle. Theorists are also trying to make sense of a number of “exotic” hadrons that have turned up in recent years in experiments such as LHCb and which do not naturally fit the simple quark model. Sticking with the strong-force theme, we also report on 30 years of heavy-ion physics and how recent measurements at the LHC and RHIC are closing in on the evolution of the quark–gluon plasma. Finally, we describe new forward detectors that from this year will allow the LHC to analyse photon–photon collisions in the ongoing search for new physics.
