Gatsby Computational Neuroscience Unit
The Gatsby Computational Neuroscience Unit (also called simply the Gatsby Unit for short) is an academic research organization within University College London. The unit is located in the Sainsbury Wellcome Centre (SWC) in Fitzrovia, in central London. It is supported by the Gatsby Charitable Foundation[1] and is closely associated with the Sainsbury Wellcome Centre[2]. Researchers at the Gatsby Unit study theoretical neuroscience, machine learning and artificial intelligence (AI). Artificial Intelligence research company DeepMind was founded at the Gatsby Unit[3]
History
The Gatsby Unit was established in 1998[4] with Geoffrey Hinton[5][6], Peter Dayan[7], Li Zhaoping[8] and Zoubin Ghahramani[9]. Founding director Geoffrey Hinton is a Turing Award winner (2018) and Nobel Prize in Physics laureate (2024).
Research at the Gatsby Unit
Research at the Gatsby Unit encompasses theoretical and computational neuroscience, computational statistics, machine learning and Artificial Intelligence. These research threads are drawn together by the unit's focus on the mathematical foundations of adaptive intelligent behaviour.[10]
