Abstract submission extended for 6th International Conference on Mathematics of Neuroscience and AI (Split, Croatia, 27-30 May 2025)
---------------
Thank you to all those that have submitted to this year’s conference on the Mathematics of Neuroscience and AI—the quality has been exceptional!
Because of the uncertainty over funding in the United States, we have decided to keep abstract submissions and spotlight allocations open on a rolling basis until the event. We are deeply sympathetic to the situation over there, and hopefully this allows some extra time to secure funding and permission to attend!
In this conference, we hear about foundational research into the basis of intelligence from world-leading scientists, over four days spanning neural data, neural theory, cognitive science, and machine learning & artificial intelligence (AI):
