Neurosciences have a long tradition of theoretical and conceptual thinking. For the second year in a row, the Math, Philosophy and Physics program has teamed up with the Brain Institute to host an interdisciplinary conference. From January 16 - 17, join experts across a variety of fields to explore theoretical and modeling approaches in today’s neurosciences. 

Experts in cognitive, computational and theoretical neuroscience, psychology, and philosophy will collectively discuss how theoretical models in neuroscience originated, their current development, the extent to which they are compatible, and — crucially — how they might be combined.

Registration is free! Feel free to drop in for individual talks, no need to attend for the full day. View a detailed speaker schedule here.
