Forschungsrealität verzerrt dargestellt

This article is available in German only.

Die Initiative Tierversuche verstehen hat die jüngste Sendung „45 Minuten – Das Schicksal der Laborhunde“ vom 20. November einem Faktencheck unterzogen und ist auf eine voreingenommene Darstellung mit einer Vielzahl von falschen Behauptungen und Unterstellungen gestoßen. So wird ein künstlich hergestelltes Foto als „nachgestellt“ deklariert, angebliche Verhaltensauffälligkeiten der Tiere verzerrt dargestellt und Informationen für eine ausgewogene Auseinandersetzung mit dem Thema ignoriert. Im Beitrag „Illegale Tierversuche – Massive Verstöße in deutschen Versuchslaboren“ auf Tagesschau.de werden die Inhalte wiederholt. Mehrere Forschende und Tierpfleger:innen kündigten gegen den TV-Beitrag Programmbeschwerden an.

How AI can help uncover the way memory works

A symphony of electrical signals and a dynamic tangle of connections between brain cells help us to make new memories. Using AI-powered models of groups of neurons, FMI researchers are working towards unlocking how the brain orchestrates this dance. Their latest study has achieved a major advance in accurately simulating the changes in the connections between neurons that sense the external environment, opening the door to a greater understanding of how countless brain cells transform sensations into perceptions and thoughts. Eventually, AI-powered tools may help to illuminate some of the workings of real brains.
