Connectionists: Algonauts Project 2027 Challenge

[Alessandro Gifford]

Dear colleagues,

We are excited to announce the Algonauts Project Challenge 2027
<https://algonautsproject.com/2027/index.html>, organized in collaboration
with CNeuroMod <https://www.cneuromod.ca/>: How The Human Brain Makes Sense
of Video Games.

The goal of this year’s challenge is to predict human brain responses
measured with fMRI during a variety of video games. Moving beyond passive
stimulus viewing, the challenge brings together perception,
decision-making, behavior, and learning, pushing brain modeling toward the
complex and dynamic environments in which human cognition naturally unfolds.

The challenge will launch at the end of 2026 and run until summer 2027. The
top three teams will be invited to present their work at the Algonauts
Challenge showcase at CCN 2027 <https://2027.ccneuro.org/> in Edinburgh.

More details about the challenge will follow over the coming months.
