Neuroscience has made huge advances in the last few years. We now know more about how the brain works than we have ever known before. Likewise, Computer Science and Artificial Intelligence have made enormous steps forward and have become part of our every-day lives. The interaction between Neuroscience and Computer Science has driven some of the most recent advances in Artificial Intelligence and this interaction has become a critical stepping stone for AI research. We have assembled a stellar list of speakers at the intersection of Neuroscience and AI from both sides of Vassar Street who will give an account of how this multi-disciplinary interaction affects their work.
