The Fifth International Convention on the

Mathematics Of Neuroscience and AI

Tuesday 28th - Friday 31st May, 2024.

Rome.

Two decades into the 21st century, how close are we to to a unified mathematical model of the brain? How close are we to building an artificial intelligence that can surpass it?

In this exploratory symposium, we invite submissions presenting mathematical models of brain function or computational ideas about intelligence.

We give priority to those models that can account for brain or behavioural data, or provide simulations to that effect.
