“AlphaFold for Systems Neuroscience” Challenge
Test whether neural simulation can predict a new biological result.
The bottleneck
Reproducing known phenomena is not the same as making experimentally confirmed discoveries.
The proposed work
A bounded simulation-to-experiment challenge with blinded predictions and prospective biological tests.
PL R&D’s proposed role
PL’s role is to be confirmed. The source proposes a field-level program but does not establish PL’s specific delivery responsibility.
What we would examine
At least one blinded prediction subsequently confirmed experimentally, plus outside benchmark adoption.
