On Thursday 9th September, 3.30 pm CET, Professor Nathaniel Daw (Princeton University, NJ, USA) will give a talk entitled “Thinking the right thoughts”.
An artificial neural network (AI) designed by researchers at University College London, the Kavli Institute for Systems Neuroscience in Trondheim, and the Max Planck Institute for Human Cognitive and Brain Sciences Leipzig is able to translate raw neural data, paving the way for new discoveries and a closer integration between technology and the brain.
In this study, we compared cognitive map formation of small-scale models of city-like environments presented in visual or tactile/haptic modalities.
On Thursday 24th June, 3.30 pm CET, Professor Matthew Rushworth (University of Oxford, UK) will give a talk entitled “Activation and disruption of a neural network for learning choice values and for making novel decisions”.

On Thursday 20th May, 11 am CET, Professor Christopher Summerfield (University of Oxford, UK) will give a talk entitled “Relational knowledge representation and assembly in humans and neural networks”.
Successful navigation requires the ability to separate memories in a context-dependent manner. For example, to find lost keys, one must first remember whether the keys were left in the kitchen or the office. How does the human brain retrieve the contextual memories that drive behavior?
On Thursday 22nd April, 3.30 pm CET, Professor Stefano Fusi (Columbia University, NY, USA) will give a talk entitled “Are place cells just memory cells?”.
