Events

The 2021 Champalimaud Research Symposium (CRS21) focuses on the interface of neuroscience, artificial intelligence and machine learning with the main goal of starting an interdisciplinary conversation about the deep conceptual problems that emerge when trying to understand how intelligent behavior is produced in animals and machines. The topic will be highlighted from different angles to promote a worthwhile cross-talk between experimental and computational researchers. Professor Manuela Veloso (Carnegie Mellon University), Professor Jim DiCarlo (MIT McGovern Institute) and Professor Anthony Zador (Cold Spring Harbor Laboratory) will be the keynote lecturers. Due to the outbreak of the new coronavirus, the CRS21 may be held as a hybrid or virtual event. Abstract submission is open until July 23.

Highlights from systems neuroscience research happening in labs across Boston University, alongside guest lectures by world-leading computational neuroscientists. The event will take place both virtually and at Boston University.
