In C. elegans, a compact nervous system enables brain-wide imaging in behaving animals exposed to controlled olfactory environments, and undulatory locomotion reduces navigation to transitions among forward runs, reversals, and turns. Here, we used brain-wide tracking microscopy to record neural activity in freely crawling worms navigating spatial odor gradients or isotropic environments, and in immobilized worms responding to temporal odor pulses. Across conditions, we identified strongly correlated brain-wide activity patterns spanning olfactory sensory neurons, interneurons, and premotor neurons. Motor-state transitions and brain-wide correlation structure differed between freely moving and immobilized animals, demonstrating that olfactory sensory representations depend jointly on sensory input, motor activity, and behavioral context. Together, these findings show that brain-wide representations of olfactory behavior are extensively reconfigured by sensory input, self-motion, and behavioral context.<br>\r\n </p>", "image_description": "", "creation_date": "2026-05-21T13:36:09", "last_modification_date": "2026-05-21T13:36:09", "link_label": "", "link_url": "", "canceled": "False", "cancel_reason": "", "place_and_room": "GA 3 21", "url_place_and_room": "https://plan.epfl.ch/?room==GA%203%2021", "url_online_room": "", "spoken_languages": [ "https://memento.epfl.ch/api/v1/spoken_languages/2/?format=api" ], "speaker": "Prof. Aravinthan Samuel <[email protected]>\r\n\r\nDepartment of Physics & Center for Brain Science, Harvard University", "organizer": "Prof. Sahand Jamal Rahi <[email protected]>\r\n\r\nJohanni Brea <[email protected]>", "contact": "Prof. Sahand Jamal Rahi <[email protected]>\r\n\r\nJohanni Brea <[email protected]>", "is_internal": "False", "theme": "", "vulgarization": { "id": 2, "fr_label": "Public averti", "en_label": "Informed public" }, "registration": { "id": 1, "fr_label": "Sur inscription", "en_label": "Registration required" }, "keywords": "", "file": null, "icalendar_url": "https://memento.epfl.ch/event/export/120823/", "category": { "id": 1, "code": "CONF", "fr_label": "Conférences - Séminaires", "en_label": "Conferences - Seminars", "activated": true }, "academic_calendar_category": null, "domains": [], "mementos": [ "https://memento.epfl.ch/api/v1/mementos/9/?format=api", "https://memento.epfl.ch/api/v1/mementos/111/?format=api" ] }, { "id": 71917, "title": "Securing Next Generation Cellular Networks", "slug": "securing-next-generation-cellular-networks", "event_url": "https://memento.epfl.ch/event/securing-next-generation-cellular-networks", "visual_url": null, "visual_large_url": null, "visual_maxsize_url": null, "lang": "en", "start_date": "2026-06-09", "end_date": "2026-06-09", "start_time": "10:30:00", "end_time": "12:30:00", "description": "<u>EDIC candidacy exam</u><br>\r\nExam president: Prof. Nate Foster<br>\r\nThesis advisor: Prof. Mathias Payer<br>\r\nCo-thesis advisor: Prof. Haitham Al Hassanieh<br>\r\nCo-examiner: Prof. Thomas Bourgeat<br>\r\n<br>\r\n<u>Abstract</u><br>\r\nThis thesis studies cellular security from a state-aware, system-level perspective spanning user equipment, access networks, core networks, and higher-layer voice and messaging services. These systems form a distributed, heterogeneous infrastructure whose security depends on complex and largely opaque implementations across the stack. Cellular infrastructure underpins everyday communication, emergency response, transport, and industrial systems, yet existing research often focuses on isolated components or stateless message handling, leaving state-dependent vulnerabilities and cross-component interactions insufficiently explored. <br>\r\n<br>\r\nThis thesis aims to develop methods to infer and explore protocol state in closed and partially observable implementations, combining active automata learning, dynamic analysis, and targeted testing. It begins with baseband firmware and core-network components, then extends across key trust boundaries such as the Radio Interface Layer, non-cellular interworking, and voice and messaging infrastructure. The goal is to identify vulnerabilities arising from logical flaws, memory-safety issues, and inconsistencies in how state and trust are handled across components.<br>\r\n<br>\r\nBuilding on these insights, the thesis derives lightweight hardening for deployed systems, including boundary mediation and flow-based policy validation. By improving how cellular systems are tested and defended, the project strengthens critical infrastructure and Swiss expertise in 5G security.<br>\r\n<br>\r\n<u>Selected papers</u><br>\r\n[1]: <a href=\"https://www.ndss-symposium.org/ndss-paper/auto-draft-200/\">https://www.ndss-symposium.org/ndss-paper/auto-draft-200/</a><br>\r\n[2]:<a href=\"https://www.ndss-symposium.org/ndss-paper/basespec-comparative-analysis-of-baseband-software-and-cellular-specifications-for-l3-protocols/\">https://www.ndss-symposium.org/ndss-paper/basespec-comparative-analysis-of-baseband-software-and-cellular-specifications-for-l3-protocols/</a><br>\r\n[3]:<a href=\"https://www.usenix.org/conference/usenixsecurity25/presentation/dong-yilu\">https://www.usenix.org/conference/usenixsecurity25/presentation/dong-yilu</a><br>\r\n ", "image_description": "", "creation_date": "2026-05-21T13:32:02", "last_modification_date": "2026-05-22T10:07:52", "link_label": "", "link_url": "", "canceled": "False", "cancel_reason": "", "place_and_room": "BC 133", "url_place_and_room": "https://plan.epfl.ch/?room==BC%20133", "url_online_room": "", "spoken_languages": [], "speaker": "Eduard Vlad", "organizer": "", "contact": "edic@epfl,ch", "is_internal": "False", "theme": "", "vulgarization": { "id": 1, "fr_label": "Tout public", "en_label": "General public" }, "registration": { "id": 3, "fr_label": "Entrée libre", "en_label": "Free" }, "keywords": "EDIC candidacy exam", "file": null, "icalendar_url": "https://memento.epfl.ch/event/export/120822/", "category": { "id": 1, "code": "CONF", "fr_label": "Conférences - Séminaires", "en_label": "Conferences - Seminars", "activated": true }, "academic_calendar_category": null, "domains": [], "mementos": [ "https://memento.epfl.ch/api/v1/mementos/6/?format=api", "https://memento.epfl.ch/api/v1/mementos/27/?format=api", "https://memento.epfl.ch/api/v1/mementos/48/?format=api" ] }, { "id": 71916, "title": "AI Center Seminar - AI for Health series - Prof. Li CHEN", "slug": "ai-center-seminar-ai-for-health-series-prof-li-c-2", "event_url": "https://memento.epfl.ch/event/ai-center-seminar-ai-for-health-series-prof-li-c-2", "visual_url": "https://memento.epfl.ch/image/33234/200x112.jpg", "visual_large_url": "https://memento.epfl.ch/image/33234/720x405.jpg", "visual_maxsize_url": "https://memento.epfl.ch/image/33234/max-size.jpg", "lang": "en", "start_date": "2026-06-02", "end_date": "2026-06-02", "start_time": "10:30:00", "end_time": "11:30:00", "description": "<p>The talk is jointly organized by the <a href=\"https://ai.epfl.ch/\">EPFL AI Center</a> and the EPFL <a href=\"https://www.epfl.ch/labs/gr-pu/\">Human-Computer Interaction Group</a> as part of the AI for Health seminar series.<br>\r\n<br>\r\n<strong><em>Hosting professor: Prof. Pearl Pu (GR-PU)</em></strong><br>\r\n<br>\r\n<strong>Title</strong><br>\r\nBeyond Recommendations: Designing Conversational Music Agents for Self-Awareness and Psychological Well-being<br>\r\n<br>\r\n<strong>Abstract</strong><br>\r\nAs the demand for scalable mental health tools grows, the potential of Large Language Models (LLMs) lies in their ability to move beyond generic retrieval toward deeply adaptive, trustworthy support. This talk explores how music-driven conversational systems can bridge the gap between algorithmic recommendation and psychological intervention. The journey begins with establishing a foundation of trust through user-centric exploration. Using conversational music recommenders as a case study, I will discuss how critiquing strategies—such as progressive and cascading suggestions—shape user perceptions of helpfulness and serendipity. However, because trust is personal, I demonstrate how individual traits, including personality and trust propensity, dictate whether a user thrives under system-led or user-led initiatives.<br>\r\nBuilding on this rapport, the talk examines how these interfaces transition from suggesting songs to fostering psychological well-being. I will illustrate how music acts as a catalyst for self-awareness, using agents to guide users through emotional resonance and self-reflection. Furthermore, I will share findings on the role of generative AI in music-based reminiscence for older adults, where adaptive dialogue helps overcome cognitive barriers to memory recall. Collectively, these studies provide a roadmap for designing AI that moves beyond the playlist, transforming music-based chatbots into sustained partners for emotional and psychological health.<br>\r\n<br>\r\n<strong>Bio</strong><br>\r\nProfessor Li Chen is currently a Full Professor and Associate Head (Research) in the Department of Computer Science at Hong Kong Baptist University (HKBU).
