Final registration deadline is May 1st (or earlier if capacity is reached).

 

Theoretical/Computational Neuroscience is currently undergoing a phase of unprecedented growth. Dramatic advances in the ease with which large-scale datasets of behavior, neural activity, connectomic and gene expression information can be collected have coincided with a revolution in the capabilities of Artificial Intelligence-based algorithms to interrogate such datasets. Concurrently, these new datasets are inspiring exciting new developments in mathematical tools for extracting their underlying structure and relationships. What is the current state of the art in our theoretical/computational understanding of the brain, and what does the future hold? You are invited to join an exciting line-up of leaders in the field to address these questions. Confirmed speakers include

Mackenzie Mathis (EPFL)

Terry Sejnowski (Salk Institute)

Andreas Tolias (Baylor College of Medicine)

Richard Zemel (Columbia University)

ShiNung Ching (WashU)

Naoki Hiratani (WashU)

Adam Kepecs (WashU)

Barani Raman (WashU)

Gaia Tavoni (WashU)
