Have you ever thought about how your brain makes decisions? How does your brain decide if you should go out with your friends for a drink instead of studying for a midterm or even how does it decide what political party to vote for when elections come around? Is there such a thing as free will or is it merely an illusion? In this graduate student interview episode, Julien Milosz discusses computational modelling, decision making, free will, and conducts a live experiment with our host.

Julien Milosz is a recent software engineering graduate with a background in neuroscience. He completed both his undergraduate and master’s studies at Université de Montréal under the guidance of John F. Kalaska, focusing on mathematical models of human decision-making. After earning his B.Sc. and M.Sc. in neuroscience, Julien transitioned to software engineering to delve deeper into the field of artificial intelligence (AI). Alongside his academic studies, he is passionate about consciousness, the philosophy of mind, and the intersection of AI and neuroscience. He is also an avid rock climber!
