Cognitive Neuroscience Meets Machine Learning | Prof. Koel Das | SYMMETRY'25 | Presidency University

Lecture by Prof. Koel Das – Associate Professor, Department of Mathematics & Statistics, Indian Institute of Science Education and Research Kolkata (IISER Kolkata) — delivered at the Department of Mathematics, Presidency University, Kolkata. In this comprehensive lecture, Prof. Das explores the fascinating interface between cognitive neuroscience and machine learning. Drawing on her multidisciplinary research in neural decoding, visual perception, and brain-computer interfacing, she guides the audience through how advanced computational tools can help us understand brain function in new ways. Key themes & topics covered: Foundations of cognitive neuroscience: how the brain processes, represents and uses information. Machine learning in neuroscience: pattern classification, feature extraction, neural decoding from EEG/brain data. Visual perception and context in natural scenes: insights from Prof. Das’s research. The synergy of neuroscience and machine learning: why modern brain research needs both data-driven models and biological insight. Implications for research and students: how to navigate a career at the crossroads of mathematics, computation and neuroscience. Why this lecture matters: Prof. Das’s work stands at the frontier of several disciplines — computational neuroscience, machine learning, and mathematical modelling. Her lecture is both illuminating for advanced students and inspiring for anyone curious about how brains learn, adapt and compute. Who should watch this lecture: Postgraduate and advanced undergraduate students in mathematics, computer science, neuroscience, data science. Researchers and faculty interested in the convergence of machine learning and neuroscience. Lifelong learners who want to see how mathematical tools can open windows into cognition.
