Welcome to NEAT, Neuro-AI-Talks, an event for research groups working at the intersection of neuroscience and artificial intelligence. NEAT fosters connections and discussions among attendees, sharing new ideas, projects and directions, as well as exploring potential collaborations.

A central rule of NEAT is that only research groups whose PI can attend in person can register. Each PI can bring up to three lab members.
