Talk Title: NeuroAI

Abstract: NeuroAI creates synergies between the study of brains and AI based on neural architectures with massively parallel processing units highly connected by weights and trained by learning algorithms.  ChatGPT was an overnight success that took 40 years to achieve.  Insights from AI may help us better understand cognitive processing in brains.
