Background
The road to understanding the structure and function of the brain is a long journey that invites contributions from researchers and professionals from highly diverse backgrounds. Discussions among established as well as budding neuroscientists have great potential for unraveling new frontiers in brain research. Along with researchers from neurobiology, psychology, and medicine, the modern age of high-power computation has enabled mathematicians, physicists, and engineers to join the dialogue and explore the horizons of neuroscience together.
The symbiotic closed-loop relationship between neuroscience and computational intelligence has witnessed major strides in recent times, hinting toward much larger unexplored areas of brain-inspired computational models in the future. Moreover, advances in data analysis methods, computer sciences, and medical imaging continue to open new windows into the brain which further uncover fascinating features of brain structure and function.
Why
Dense collaborations and interdisciplinary research need to be encouraged in order to delve deeper into the folds of the brain while developing cutting-edge technology for improved healthcare, diagnosis, and rehabilitation for neurological disorders.
The IBRO Spring School on ‘Computational Neuroscience and AI’ 2023 under the umbrella of the Seventh Brain Mapping and Artificial Intelligence (BMAI) workshop aims to bring together curious minds from various disciplines to engage, learn, and collaborate to advance our understanding of the brain.
For Whom
Given the large-scale opportunities and scope of neuroscientific research in the coming years, it is high time that a strong front of female future neuroscientists is motivated and trained to join the conversation, bearing the torch of inclusivity and equality in academia.
The BMAI 2023 workshop aims to bring forth budding female researchers from underrepresented regions from all over India and provide advanced training in computational neuroscience and artificial intelligence on a global platform while creating an environment that facilitates the exchange of ideas and opportunities among the participants.
NOTE: Participants from any branch of Science (Including Medical Science) and Engineering are encouraged to attend the workshop. This year applications are open only for female candidates.
By Whom
Sponsored by the International Brain Research Organisation (IBRO) and the Department of Science and Technology (DST) – Kiran and Supported by the Indian Academy of Neurosciences (IAN), this workshop will be Hosted at the Indian Institute of Technology Delhi by the Neurocomputing Laboratory.
What
This workshop will introduce fundamental challenges in understanding the human brain and translating that knowledge to the machine domain. Participants will learn fundamental neuroscience, and various techniques to understand the mechanism behind the science of intelligence. The state of art on Artificial intelligence techniques as well as opportunities & challenges will be discussed. In this workshop we want to provide opportunities to members of underrepresented communities.
