NEXTEN: Envisaging Theoretical and Computational Neuroscience for the Next 10 Years
May 16-17, 2024
Washington University in St Louis
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?
The Center for Theoretical and Computational Neuroscience at Washington University in St Louis invited people to join an exciting line-up of leaders in the field to address these questions.
- Speakers included Adam Kepecs (WashU), Mackenzie Mathis (EPFL), Terry Sejnowski (Salk Institute), Andreas Tolias (Baylor College of Medicine), and Richard Zemel (Columbia University).
- The conference was held in the new 600,000-square-foot Neuroscience Research Building on the Medical School campus.
