University College London NeuroAI Annual Conference - 5th Nov - in person and online

by Padraig Gleeson

Dear Colleagues, The 6th annual UCL NeuroAI Conference will take place on Wednesday 5 November 2025 at UCL Great Ormond Street Institute of Child Health in London. The event features leading speakers at the cutting edge of machine learning and neuroscience. The UCL NeuroAI initiative aims to be a central hub where researchers working in neuroscience, AI, machine learning, and related fields can interact and stay updated on the latest advancements in these intersecting areas. Our annual conference is an important opportunity for these communities to gather, make new connections, and benefit from insights in one another’s fields. *Keynote speakers* We are privileged to have a distinguished line-up of speakers and experts confirmed to date. Leena Chennuru Vankadara (Gatsby Computational Neuroscience Unit, UCL) Netta Cohen (University of Leeds) Nathaniel Daw (Princeton University) Quentin Huys (Institute of Neurology, UCL) Kenneth Harris (Institute of Neurology, UCL) Armin Lak (University of Oxford) All information including how to register can be found here <https://www.ucl.ac.uk/research/domains/neuroscience/ucl-neuroai>. Spaces are limited so we recommend booking asap to avoid disappointment. Registration fee for the conference is £5. If you are unable to pay for any reason, please contact neuroaievents(a)ucl.ac.uk. *Poster and lightning talks - Submissions are now open!* This year we will also be accepting abstract submissions for posters or a short lightning presentation as part of the event. The deadline to submit your abstract (200 words) is *Wednesday 15th October, 12pm*. Further details regarding the poster and lighting talks can be found here <https://www.ucl.ac.uk/research/domains/neuroscience/ucl-neuroai>. *About UCL NeuroAI* The last decade has seen phenomenal advances in the fields of machine learning (e.g. deep learning, reinforcement learning, and AI). While these changes have already had considerable impact on most areas of science they hold a particular resonance for neuroscience. Crucially, AI shares a common lineage with neuroscience and fundamentally machine learning and the brain employ similar computations to process and compress information. For these reasons AI provides a means to emulate neural functions and the circuits supporting them, providing insights to aid our understanding of the brain and cognition. Equally, AI tools provide a means to discover, segment, and track distinct neural and behavioural states - yielding more efficient experiments and accelerating the pace of discovery. In turn, this understanding feeds back into the design of more effective AI architectures and models. Essentially, AI problems posed in neuroscience both require and inspire further advances in AI. *Sponsorship* We are immensely grateful for the support from the Sainsbury Wellcome Centre <https://www.sainsburywellcome.org/web/>, the Crick Partner Networking Fund <https://www.crick.ac.uk/research/research-partnerships/university-partnersh…> and AIBIO-UK <https://aibio.ac.uk/>. We look forward to seeing you there.

Denis Mareschal speaking on Thursday, October 16 in Developing Minds global online lecture series

by Jochen Triesch

Dear colleagues, On October 16, the Developing Minds global online lecture series is proud to host Denis Mareschal from Birkbeck College London, UK, speaking on: "The challenges and rewards of pursuing real-word Developmental Science“. Thursday, October 16, 2025: 10:00 am EST (Eastern Standard Time, US) 15:00 UTC (Universal Coordinated Time) 16:00 CET (Central European Time) 23:00 JST (Japan Standard Time) The zoom link/credentials are: https://uni-frankfurt.zoom-x.de/j/67246871085?pwd=4s1XHEOL4tihLhbbqVwprgBih… Meeting-ID: 672 4687 1085 Kenncode: 745870 Abstract: Historically, the understanding of the brain-based mechanisms of learning in young children has relied on well-controlled lab-based experiments. This was for good scientific reasons. First, there was a drive to isolate individual causes of behaviours and therefore to carefully control the environments in which children behaved during a study. Moreover, the equipment required to assess the neural correlates of behaviours were cumbersome and difficult to move so children's mobility had to be restricted. Recent developments in wearable and wifi-enhanced technologies have now allowed us to literally "untether" children and explore their brain and behaviour as they move around and interact naturally. This has opened new avenues for research, but has equally revealed important new challenges to the way that we approach developmental sciences. In this seminar, I will draw on my lab's recent work on children's sensory cue integration, neural synchrony during children's collaborative problem solving and the trials and tribulations of translating basic cognitive neuroscience research into real-world effective classroom interventions to highlight some of the challenges that contemporary developmental sciences faces. Short Bio: Professor Denis Mareschal is Director of the Centre for Brain and Cognitive Development, at Birkbeck University of London, and a founding member of the Centre for Educational Neuroscience. After completing a BA in Natural Science at Cambridge, he moved on to studying learning -- initially in the form of an MA in Psychology and Artificial Intelligence at McGill in Montreal, Canada and then through completing a DPhil in Psychology at Oxford. Professor Mareschal's research has focussed on identifying the mechanisms of learning and development in infancy and childhood through the combined use of behavioural studies, computational modelling and neuroimaging. He has received a number of awards for his work, including the Marr Prize from the Cognitive Science Society, the Young Investigator Award from the International Congress on Infant Studies and the Margaret Donaldson Prize from the BPS Developmental Section. Over the last 10 years he has led the UnLocke project (Unlocke.org) developing a neuroscience-based primary school maths and science education intervention. He is committed to taking neuroscience out of the lab and into the real-world, in terms of primary research and in terms of translational impact. The talk will be recorded and made available for later viewing.
