The Computing Community Consortium (CCC) will hold a BRAIN Workshop to bring together brain researchers and computer scientists for a scientific dialogue aimed at exposing new opportunities for joint research.
Today, understanding the structure and function of the human brain is one of the greatest scientific challenges of our generation. Decades of study and continued progress in our knowledge of neural function and brain architecture have led to important advances in brain science, but a comprehensive understanding of the brain still lies well beyond the horizon. How might computer science and brain science benefit from one another? The workshop will be aimed at questions such as the following:
The workshop organizing committee includes Polina Golland, Massachusetts Institute of Technology; Gregory Hager, Johns Hopkins University; Christof Koch, Allen Institute; Christos Papadimitriou (Chair), University of California at Berkeley; Hanspeter Pfister, Harvard University; Tal Rabin, IBM; Stefan Schaal, University of Southern California; Joshua Tenenbaum, Massachusetts Institute of Technology; Kenneth Whang, National Science Foundation; Ross Whitaker, University of Utah; and Ann Drobnis, CCC Director.
The workshop will be held December 3-5 in Washington, DC. Additional information about the workshop can be found on the website.
