Mon., October 5 \u2013 Wed., October 7, 2026<\/h2>\n\n\n\n
<\/div>\n\n\n\n

We\u00a0bring together expert perspectives from human cognitive neuroscience, animal neuroscience and artificial intelligence from academia and industry in the US, Europe, and Asia. We hope to have fruitful discussions about how we can understand intelligence and the brain, whether neuroscience can lead to better AI, whether neuroscience should keep using AI models that stray from biology, and related further topics.<\/span>\u00a0<\/p>\n<\/div>\n\n\n\n
