54 - Neural Networks and Data Visualization with Nicolas Rougier

About this episode

In this episode, we discuss neural networks and data visualization with researcher Nicolas Rougier.

In this episode, we have the honor of having Nicolas Rougier on our show. Nicolas is a researcher and team leader at the Institute of Neurodegenerative Diseases (Bordeaux, France). We discuss how Nicolas utilizes computational models and neural networks in his research on the brain. We also talk about Nicolas’s history with Python, his work on Glumpy and VisPy , and much, much more! Links * Nicolas’s GitHub page * Scientific Visualization: Python & Matplotlib , an open access book on scientific visualization. * From Python to Numpy , an open access book on numerical computing * Braincraft * 100 Numpy Exercises is a collection of 100 numpy exercises, from easy to hard.
