Building of the Gatsby Unit

The Gatsby Computational Neuroscience Unit (also called simply the Gatsby Unit for short) is an academic research organization within University College London. It is supported by the Gatsby Charitable Foundation.[1] and is closely associated with the Sainsbury Wellcome Centre for Neural Circuits and Behaviour[2]. It is located in Fitzrovia, in central London. Artificial Intelligence research company DeepMind was founded at the Gatsby Unit[3]

History

The Gatsby Unit was founded in 1998[4] by Peter Dayan[5], Li Zhaoping[6], and Turing Award winner Geoffrey Hinton[7][8].
