Just checked into the main venue in Croatia, to start setting up for next week's conference on the Mathematics of #Neuroscience and #AI. Everything looking great!

🌊 I can't believe it's only 10 days away! Our 6th Conference on the Mathematics of #Neuroscience and #AI in #Split, #Croatia! The team has put together a quite unheard of line-up, with many of the original and emerging pioneers in these two influential disciplines.

It's a great pleasure to announce @croai.bsky.social as our official local partner for this year's conference on the Mathematics of Neuroscience and AI in Split! CroAI have done a tremendous job collecting and cultivating the #AI community in #Croatia via talks, workshops, & global representation

Now let’s give a round of applause to @neuroai.bsky.social, who will give an eagerly awaited keynote talk at our upcoming conference on #neuroscience and #AI. Ida is Principle Researcher at @msftresearch.bsky.social, where they develop novel and innovative #generative AI algorithms!

This broad engagement reflects Ida’s truly multi-disciplinary background: Electrophysiology, Memory, and Navigation at @columbiauniversity.bsky.social, neuroscience at PNI, psychology at BCCN Berlin, philosophy of science at @utrechtuniversity.bsky.social and software engineering at Tehran.

Today we honor one of computational #neuroscience’s founding parents, Professor Jay McClelland. Jay, along with Rumelhart, and Hinton @nobelprize.bsky.social, is broadly thought to be responsible for ushering in the second wave of connectionism with their Parallel Distributed Processing book...

He continues to contribute, not only through provoking talks at conferences but also active research on deep learning at @stanfordhai.bsky.social and DeepMind. Come and join us to hear from Jay and many others in #Croatia this year:

This afternoon’s focus is on @neurokim.bsky.social, research scientist at Google DeepMind and affiliate faculty at Columbia—someone that has done tremendously creative work applying computational thinking to both neuroscience and deep learning.

Come and join us to hear more! Submissions and registration are still open: www.neuromonster.org

Kim completed their PhD at @princetonneuro.bsky.social under Matthew Botvinick, focusing on the computational role of predictive representations in the hippocampus. Since then she has published widely, on successor representations, physical simulations and graph NNs, symbolic models, and more!

🏆 We are thrilled to announce that @wolframresearch.bsky.social has just generously agreed to sponsor the student poster prizes at our Conference on the Mathematics of Neuroscience & AI in Croatia 🏝️ The top student submissions will receive a prize of a year of Wolfram|One Professional worth $1660

🎵 It’s a great pleasure to have the distinguished Prof Wolfgang Maass give the second keynote of our Neuro x AI conference. Prof Maass, at @tugraz.bsky.social, has been a driving force at the intersection of theoretical neuroscience, computational complexity, and machine learning.

We’re most fortunate to have Professor Eve Marder, one of the great pioneers in systems neuroscience, give the opening keynote at our conference later this month in Split, Croatia. Recipient of both the @kavliprize.bsky.social and Brain prize, faculty @brandeisuniversity.bsky.social.

Eve's work challenged the dogma that neural circuits were hardwired-that circuits could be understood solely by their connectivity and the excitatory or inhibitory neurotransmitters passed in between them. In fact, neuromodulators could reconfigure circuits to produce a range of different outputs.

💥 Over the next five days I’ll be posting about a set of early and emerging pioneers in #neuroscience and #AI research! With over 500,000 citations between them, their stories neatly track the intertwined development of two of the most influential fields for the 21st century. Link below:
