Computational Neuroscience x NeuroAI
From Brain Algorithms to Embodied Intelligence
How can brains achieve intelligence so flexibly, creatively, and efficiently—and what can this teach the next generation of AI?
This Summer Program brings together leading lecturers in computational/systems neuroscience, NeuroAI, embodied intelligence, BCI/BMI, and AI ethics to explore intelligence as an active process linking brains, bodies, behavior, and machines. Through lectures and discussions, participants will connect neural circuits, learning theory, robotics, and embedded systems, asking how biological principles can inspire adaptive, interpretable, and resource-efficient AI.
The program will foster exchanges with researchers from RIKEN CBS, AIP, and iTHEMS, and welcome talented participants from around the world to vibrant Tokyo.
