Stanford Brain lab announced the Stanford Digital Brain Project, an effort to build predictive models of the human brain and revolutionize treatment for brain disorders, with training enabled by Stanford HAI's Marlowe GPU cluster. A notable question from the replies: how will the project distinguish a model that accurately predicts brain activity patterns from one that captures the causal mechanisms needed to predict treatment effects?
