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 talks about how human and artificial neural networks build predictive models through interaction, adapting to social, virtual, and natural environments. Highlighting 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. Through storytelling, the presentation emphasizes the importance of questioning our experiences to make meaningful connections.
