Symposium on the Mathematics of Neuroscience. Crete, Greece, 24-25th September 2022  (www.neuromonster.org).

Two decades into the 21st century, can we claim to be any closer to a unified model of the brain? In this exploratory symposium, we invite submissions for short talks and posters presenting general mathematical models of brain function. We give priority to those models that account for brain or behavioural data, or provide simulations to that effect.

This year’s theme is life-long learning and discovery.

Keynote Speakers

Professor Peter Dayan (Director, Department of Computational Neuroscience, Max Planck Institute for Biological Cybernetics, Tübingen)

“Learning from scratch: Non-parametric models of task acquisition over the long run”

Professor Andrew Adamatzky (Director, Unconventional Computing Laboratory, University of the West of England)

“Fungal Brain”

Symposium Chairs

Professor Dan V. Nicolau (King’s College London)

Dr Ruairidh McLennan Battleday (Princeton University)

Invited Talks

Professor Kobi Kremnitzer (University of Oxford)

Professor Marc Howard (Boston University)

Professor Kevin Burrage (Queensland University of Technology)

Professor Rahul Bhui (MIT)

Dr Jonathan Mason (University of Oxford)

Dr James Whittington (University of Oxford / Stanford)

Dr Ilia Sucholutsky (Princeton University)

Dr Sophia Sanborn (UC Berkeley, UC Santa Barbara, University of British Columbia)

Dr Christina Merrick (UC San Francisco)

Dr Timothy Muller (UCL)

Prize Talks

Dr Aenne Brielmann (Max Planck Institute, Tübingen)

Andrew Ligeralde (Redwood Center for Theoretical Neuroscience, University of California, Berkeley)

The symposium will be held virtually or in-person on the island of Crete, Greece from the 24-25th of September 2022 (www.neuromonster.org). Submission is by 250-word abstract before the 23rd July 2022, emailed to the organizers Professor Dan V. Nicolau Jr (dan.nicolau@kcl.ac.uk) and Dr Ruairidh M. Battleday (battleday@princeton.edu).
