Harvard Psychiatry Research Day
Joshua Sariñana presented his research project—Utilizing Large Language Models and Art to Represent Cognitive Networks—at the Harvard Psychiatry Research Day, exploring how spatial cognition influences identity across physical, social, and digital environments. Using large language models (LLMs) to analyze qualitative interviews, he examined how individuals navigate interconnected spaces, shaping their sense of belonging and adaptation.
Museum of Science - Exploring Connections
In his presentation at the Museum of Science’s Youth Internship Program, Joshua Sariñana presents Exploring Connections, discussing how neuroscience, artificial intelligence (AI), and art interact, focusing on the hidden networks that shape our internal and external worlds. He highlights the parallels between brain function and AI and the roles of motivation and experience in shaping our cognition and behavior. Explored are how art and AI can reveal hidden patterns and challenge conventional perceptions.
