==================================================== Computational and Systems Neuroscience 2027 (Cosyne) MAIN MEETING & WORKSHOPS 11 - 16 March 2027 Montreal, Canada www.cosyne.org ==================================================== IMPORTANT DATES Abstract submission is now open. Abstract submission deadline: 18 October 2026 Workshop proposal submission is now open. Workshop proposal submission deadline: 01 November 2026 UNDERGRADUATE travel grant applications are now open. UNDERGRADUATE travel grant submission deadline: 30 October 2026 ---------------------------------------------------- COSYNE MEETING & WORKSHOPS ---------------------------------------------------- The annual Cosyne meeting provides an inclusive forum for the exchange of empirical and theoretical approaches to problems in systems neuroscience, in order to understand how neural systems function. The MAIN MEETING is single-track. A set of invited talks is selected by the Executive Committee, and additional talks and posters are selected by the Program Committee, based on submitted abstracts. The WORKSHOPS feature in-depth discussion of current topics of interest, in a small group setting. Cosyne topics include but are not limited to: neural basis of behavior, sensory and motor systems, circuitry, learning, neural coding, natural scene statistics, dendritic computation, neural basis of persistent activity, nonlinear receptive field mapping, representations of time and sequence, reward systems, decision-making, synaptic plasticity, map formation and plasticity, population coding, attention, neuromodulation, and computation with spiking networks. We would like to foster increased participation from experimental groups as well as computational ones. Please circulate widely and encourage your students and postdocs to apply. When preparing an abstract, authors should be aware that not all abstracts can be accepted for the meeting. Abstracts will be selected based on the clarity with which they convey the substance, significance, and originality of the work to be presented. ----------------------------------------------------- COSYNE TRAVEL GRANTS ----------------------------------------------------- The COSYNE community is committed to bringing talented scientists together at our annual meeting, regardless of their ability to afford travel. Thus, a number of travel grants will be awarded to students, postdocs, and PIs for travel to the COSYNE meeting. We currently offer five travel grant programs: Childcare, Presenters, New Attendees, Mentorship, and Undergraduate Travel Grants, see Cosyne.org -> Attend -> Travel Grants for details. Applicants may apply for more than one grant program, but no applicant will receive more than one award. You may apply for a travel grant before receiving notification about the outcome of your submission. You may also apply if you are not submitting anything to the Main Meeting but still wish to attend Cosyne 2027. ---------------------------------------------------- COSYNE 2027 ---------------------------------------------------- COSYNE INVITED SPEAKERS Dani Bassett (UPenn) Chand Chandrasekaran (Boston U) Christine Constantinople (NYU) Paul Cisek (U Montreal) Kevin Franks (Duke) Leslie P Kaelbling (MIT) Andy Leifer (Princeton) Scott Linderman (Stanford) Amy Orsborne (U Washington) Cengiz Pehlevan Kempner (Harvard) Kanaka Rajan (Harvard; Kempner Inst) Rebecca Saxe (MIT) Carsen Stringer (Janelia) ORGANIZING COMMITTEE General Chairs: Kimberly Stachenfeld (DeepMind) and Mark Histed (NIH) Program Chairs: Annegret Falkner (Princeton) and Guillaume Lajoie (MILA/U Montreal) Workshop Chairs: N Alex Cayco Gajic (ENS) and Marcelo Mattar (NYU) Tutorial Chairs: Eva Dyer (Georgia Tech) and Alex Williams (NYU) Mentorship and Networking Chairs: Renata Brito (Mount Sinai) and Srikanth Ramaswamy (Newcastle U) Undergraduate Travel Chairs: Lea Duncker (Columbia) and Kevin Miller (DeepMind) Development Chair: Michael Long (NYU) Media Chairs: Roxana Zeraati (MPI Biol Cybernetics) and Claire Sturgill (TU Dresden) Social Media Chair: Shervin Safavi (TU Dresden) Poster Design: Maja Bialon PROGRAM COMMITTEE Annegret Falkner (Princeton) Guillaume Lajoie (MILA/U Montreal) Thomas Akam (Oxford) Mikio Aoi (UCSD) Shahab Bakhtiari (U Montreal) Arkarup Banerjee (CSHL) Joao Barbosa Pouya Bashivan (McGill) Marcus Benna (UCSD) Colin Bredenberg (U Oregon) Fanny Cazettes (Aix-Marseille U) Angus Chadwick (U Edinburgh) Vincent Costa (Emory) Ben Cowley (CSHL) Emily Dennis (Janelia) Sridhar Devarajan (IISc) Celine Drieu (JHU) Eva Dyer (UPenn) Becket Ebitz (U Montreal) Noemi Elteto (Google) Rainer Engelken (UIUC) Arseny Finkelstein (Tel Aviv University) Juan Gallego (Champalimaud) Erin Grant (U Alberta) Christine Grienberger (Brandeis) Laura Grima (Janelia) Bilal Haider (Georgia Tech) Yu Hu (ION, CAS Shanghai) Michele Insanally (U Pittsburgh) Kishore Kuchibhotla (JHU) Nina Kudryashova (U Edinburgh) Helena Liu (U Toronto) Laureline Logiaco (CU Anschutz) Thomas Zhihao Luo (U Utah) Paul Masset (McGill) Francesca Mastrogiuseppe (Champalimaud) Alexander Mathis (EPFL) Luca Mazzucato (U Oregon) Dan McNamee (Champalimaud) Cory Miller (UCSD) Wilten Nicola (U Calgary) Ramon Nogueira Manas (U Chicago) Gouki Okazawa (ION, CAS Shanghai) Agostina Palmigiano (UCL) Matt Perich (U Montreal) Rui Ponte Costa (Oxford) Lorenzo Posani (Paris Brain Institute) Dean Pospisil (UIUC) Isabeau Premont-Schwarz (U Laval) Carolina Rezaval (U Birmingham) Shreya Saxena (Yale) Evan Schaffer (Sinai) Heike Stein Weinan Sun (Cornell) Roxana Zeraati Chris Zimmerman (U Utah) Petr Znamenskiy (Crick) EXECUTIVE COMMITTEE Stephanie Palmer (U Chicago) Anne-Marie Oswald (U Pittsburgh) Alexandre Pouget (U Geneva) Anthony Zador (CSHL) CONTACT meeting [at] cosyne.org ----------------------------------------------------- COSYNE MAILING LISTS ----------------------------------------------------- Please consider adding yourself to Cosyne mailing lists (groups) to receive email updates with various Cosyne-related information and join in helpful discussions.
