Machine learning, AI, connectomics, and large-scale recordings have had a dramatic effect on Theoretical Neuroscience, providing both exciting opportunities and significant challenges. The meeting “Frontiers of Theoretical Neuroscience” will cover these topics in a series of sessions addressing: attractors and computation, circuit models of behavior, large scale structure in neural activity across brain areas, plasticity and learning from mechanisms to human behavior, and cognitive representations across brains and machines.

The currently confirmed speakers and preliminary information on the programme can be found here. The meeting starts on 3 June at 14:00 and ends with a farewell dinner on 6 June, with departures foreseen on 7 June. Additional information will be provided in due course.

Organised by FENS in collaboration with the Lundbeck Foundation, awarder of The Brain Prize, these bi-annual conferences bring together outstanding researchers in key areas of contemporary neuroscience to discuss current concepts and define challenges for future research.
