In addition to talks and posters, CCN 2019 will involve exciting special events:
Meet new people! CCN 2019 will feature an algorithmically optimized networking event. Participants will meet and engage in conversation with a new scientist every 15 minutes. An algorithm will determine who meets whom. (90 min)
Karl Friston and Jeff Beck will discuss the promise and perils of the free energy principle as a path toward understanding brain and cognition. The event will be moderated by Rosalyn Moran. (90 min)
Speakers: Karl Friston and Jeff Beck
Moderator: Rosalyn Moran
We will gather in smaller groups to discuss six key challenges related to cross-collaboration between cognitive science, computational neuroscience, and artificial intelligence. Invited discussion leaders will kick-start the conversation with short presentations. (90 min)
Speakers: Scott Linderman, Laura Driscoll, Lea Duncker
Speakers: Janice Chen, Mark Thornton, Adam Calhoun
Speakers: Benjamin Peters and Wei Ji Ma
Speakers: Matthias Bethge, Y-Lan Boureau, Gemma Roig
Speakers: Todd Gureckis, Nathaniel Daw, Jelmer Borst
Speakers: Jon Brennan, Laura Gwilliams
