Keynote 1
Prof. Matthew Larkum
Decoding the cortex: deep pyramidal insights into computation
Registration is now closed. We are at full capacity with approximately 80 registered AI and Neuroscience enthusiasts. We are looking forward to seeing you in September.
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 to 80 people, invite only, to encourage an open and relaxed exchange.
Each research group is welcome to join with 3 to 4 members and their PI. Questions? Feel free to contact Katja Ruge at katja.ruge(at)uni-osnabrueck.de.

Decoding the cortex: deep pyramidal insights into computation
Keynote 2
Language modeling beyond language modeling
NEAT took place in the Bohnenkamphaus, a conference venue at the heart of the botanical gardens of the Osnabrück University.
Special prices were negotiated for NEAT participants in Osnabrück hotels. Rooms were reserved at this rate until 31 July 2023. The booking codeword for both hotels was “neat 2023”.
The joint workshop dinner took place at the Portobar in Osnabrück, reachable on foot from the event and hotel.
Address: Weidenstraße 2, 49080 Osnabrück
Due to generous donations by the sponsors, the workshop dinner was free of charge, registration required.
Similar to CCN mind-matching, scientists were matched according to their research interests. Mind-matched groups had joint dinner at local restaurants.
