Neuro-AI-talks 2023 – (NEAT)

Welcome to NEAT – Neuro-AI-Talks in Osnabrück – an event for EU-based research groups working at the intersection of neuroscience and artificial intelligence. The focus of NEAT is to foster connections and discussions among attendees, sharing new ideas, projects, and directions, as well as exploring potential collaborations. The event is aiming for a rather small group of attendees (approximately 70-80 people, invite only) to encourage an open and relaxed exchange. Each research group is welcome to join with 3-4 members and their PI. We look forward to welcoming you to Osnabrück in September.
