Connectionists: 6th International Conference on Mathematics of Neuroscience and AI (Split, Croatia, 27-30 May 2025) - abstract submission extended to 16th March

[Ruairidh Battleday]

We are extending abstract submissions for this year’s Conference on
Mathematics of Neuroscience and AI to March 16th AOE:

www.neuromonster.org

In this high-profile conference we hear about new computational theories of
the brain and mind, as well as data that challenges old theories. We then
take findings and theory back into the creation of robust, generalizable,
and scalable AI.

We hear from leading researchers over four days, spanning biocomputation,
neural theory, cognitive science, and machine learning & artificial
intelligence (AI):
