Connectionists: Embodied NeuroAI Panel at BRAIN Initiative Conference — June 18th

[Joe Monaco]

Dear Colleagues,
 
The NIH BRAIN Initiative is holding an upcoming special session entitled “BRAIN and the Future of Computing: Embodied NeuroAI Perspectives” on *Tuesday June 18th at 11:15am ET *at the 10th Annual BRAIN Initiative Conference <https://brainmeeting.swoogo.com/2024/home>. Over the last 10 years, the BRAIN Initiative has spearheaded new tools and large-scale data to understand the brain. In this exciting discussion panel, BRAIN will kick off the conversation about exciting new directions at the intersection of neuroscience and AI research. Register to attend virtually or in-person at https://brainmeeting.swoogo.com/2024/begin. In-person registration ends on *Friday May 31*.
 
_What:_ A symposium panel and discussion on NeuroAI research at the 2024 BRAIN Initiative Conference.
 
_When:_ Tuesday June 18, 2024 from 11:15am to 12:15pm ET.
 
_Where:_ Attend virtually or in-person at the White Flint Amphitheater, North Bethesda Marriott Hotel (5701 Marinelli Rd, Rockville, MD 20852). All BRAIN Initiative Conference information can be found at https://brainmeeting.swoogo.com/2024/home.
 
_Why:_ Solving core shared problems in understanding brains and AI could reveal fundamental principles of cognition, behavior, and new paradigms of efficient brain-inspired computing for health and technology. This panel will discuss critical questions including the brain-body basis of intelligent behavior, and how AI and neuroscience can best work together.
 
_Who:_ *Tony Zador*, Cold Spring Harbor Lab (Moderator): “Towards an embodied Turing test”. *Henry Yin*, Duke University: “Basal ganglia, analog computing, and neural control for flexible robotics”. *Kim Stachenfeld*, Google DeepMind & Columbia: “Deep learning for physical simulation and graph neural network approaches”. *Gina Adam*, George Washington University: “Neuromorphic computing designs and new neurotechnologies with biomedical applications”.
 
See you there!
