Neuroscience Day
Neuroscience Day
- An annual event hosted by NeuroCampus Aarhus
Neuroscience Day - Monday 10th June 2024
This year’s focus of the Neuroscience Day will be
When Neuroscience meet Engineering and Computer Science
The Lundbeck Foundation Brain Prize Lecture titled Brains and AI will be held by Professor Terrence Sejnowski, Head of the Computational Neurobiology Laboratory and the Francis Crick Chair, Salk Institute for Biological Sciences, USA, Brain Prize Winner 2024, who is considered a pioneer in the field of computational neuroscience.
By using sophisticated electrical and chemical monitoring techniques and computer simulations, Terrence Sejnowski hopes to gain new knowledge of how the human brain is capable of learning and storing memories.
Join Terrence Sejnowski as he shares his expert insights in this field, broadcasting live from California.

Brains and AI
Abstract:
The recent advances in AI have been inspired by how brains compute. What have we learned from language models like ChatGPT? AI is accelerating our understanding of how brains function, which, in turn will enable new AI capabilities, a virtuous cycle.
