Developmental programs within neural stem cells and their lineages program identity, connectivity, and function of individual neuron types, and we believe that understanding circuit development will reveal the organization of information flow in the nervous system that shapes behavior. Testing this hypothesis spans disciplines from developmental biology to behavioral neuroscience and requires diverse expertise, from molecular biology to imaging to mathematical modeling. Over the course of this meeting, we will address the following broad challenges: 1) How lineage-derived information shapes circuits and connectivity patterns for innate and learned behaviors 2) How endocrine and paracrine developmental signaling coordinate developmental transitions and sex differentiation events across the brain to produce juvenile and adult behaviors from the same genome 3) The development of unprecedented, evolutionarily relevant circuit engineering approaches and design of new computational modalities in living brains.... MORE There are no registration fees and Janelia covers the cost of meals and onsite accommodations for all participants. Travel scholarships are available to those in need. We especially encourage applications from those who identify with groups that are traditionally underrepresented in science. Janelia conferences are small, and we may not be able to accommodate all applicants. We strive for a diverse attendee pool with broad representation across labs and therefore may limit participation to one person per group. Preference is given to applicants who are active researchers in the field and can present their work as a poster or selected talk.

For the 2024 BRAINS cohort, with support by a grant from the Dana Foundation, we are also interested in eligible individuals who have expertise at the intersection of neuroscience and society (e.g., neuroscience and public health, neuroscience and ethics, etc.). 2024 participants will join a community of around 180 neuroscientists who are thriving in their careers. A 2022 participant described their BRAINS experience as follows: ?Participating in BRAINS gave me a stronger identity as a neuroscientist? [BRAINS] prepared me for success in [my] transition, both in terms of professional development, but also in serving as a reminder that I do belong in academic neuroscience research.? We look forward to welcoming the next cohort into the BRAINS community. Learn more about the BRAINS program and access our application by visiting our website (www.BRAINS.washington.edu).

Current or recent trainees (student/postdoc/RA/early industry position) interested in the intersection of neuro and AI in some way are invited to participate. The data will be used to write a publication outlining neuro-AI trainees' training needs and recommendations for addressing them. Researchers at the University of Oxford, the University of Cambridge, and the German Center for Neurodegenerative Diseases may access these data. --------------- Forwarded Message --------------- From: Andrea Luppi [andrea.luppi at psych.ox.ac.uk] Subject: NeuroAI trainees survey Dear Colleagues, My name is Dr. Andrea Luppi, and I am a researcher at the University of Oxford. I am writing on behalf of a group of early-career researchers working in NeuroAI. Given recent high-profile calls for greater training in NeuroAI, we are conducting a short survey for NeuroAI trainees, to understand how they can best be supported in their development, and what challenges they face. Our hope is to use the results to support a peer-reviewed publication, written by trainees and for trainees, that will also inform educational offerings in neuroscience, AI, and their intersection. Yale's Wu Tsai Institute, due its explicit focus on NeuroComputation and Machine Intelligence, has come to our attention as one of the most prominent institutions where neuroscience and AI converge - and where many current or prospective NeuroAI trainees may be working. So, we kindly ask for your help in disseminating this survey to current and recent trainees in your institution, by sharing it through internal communications (internal bulletins, mailing list) for students, postdocs and early career researchers. However, please *do not* share on publicly accessible social media channels, to avoid bots. The survey is quick and entirely anonymous. Anyone who is interested in the intersection of neuro and AI in some way and is a current or recent trainee (student/postdoc/RA/early industry position) is invited to take part. We hope that you will help us to achieve our goal of improving the experience of NeuroAI trainees, by helping us to give a voice to as many trainees as possible.

Anonymous As we celebrate 10 years of the Bioinformatics Support Hub at the Cushing/Whitney Medical Library, we invite you to share your visual responses to the prompt ?Data as Art." Though data representations hold specific scientific meaning, some datasets and data visualizations also possess inherent artistic sensibility on their own. Cultivating an appreciation for data as art can reframe our conception of data as orderly, objective evidence into iterative, multifaceted artifacts produced in the non-linear search for new knowledge. We invite you to submit "data as art" in conversation with this idea. All selected entries will be on display in the rotunda of the Cushing/Whitney Medical Library from late August 2024 to January 2025. Inclusion Criteria: * Quantitative Data Representation. Your work should visually depict quantitative data. * Digital Works. We're seeking digital files * Yale affiliates Exclusion Criteria: * Human Identified Data. Please refrain from using identifiable human data. * Raw Data. Submit a representation of data (visualizations and aggregations of the data), not the raw data (e.g. data files such as .fastq, scripts, etc). * Three-Dimensional Objects. We're focusing on bi-dimensional representations for this call. Submission details: * Digital file: .pdf, .jpeg, .tiff * Image resolution: at least 300 DPI * Image size: at least 1 MB, max 1GB * Image description: Include a title and a brief explanation of the data and the methodology used. * Limit 3 submissions per person * Please acknowledge the use of artificial intelligence and what program Deadline: Please submit your entry by May 17, 2024 More Information: Data as art refers to representations of data (visualizations and aggregations of the data) with an aesthetic. Any data representation -- as long as it does not contain personally identifying information -- is eligible if the submitter believes the work is artistic or conveys meaning beyond the information encoded in the data itself. Consider submitting a data representation born from a mistake but that led to something aesthetically beautiful. If you're passionate about merging science and art, this call is for you! Let's transform data into art and showcase the beauty beyond the numbers together.

Transforming visual experiences into adaptive long-term memories Abstract: Long-term memory allows humans to exploit information encountered in the past in order to behave more adaptively in the present. However, our memories are not perfect snapshots of our perceptual experiences. My research explores the cognitive and neural pressures that shape what sensory information is stored in long-term memory and how this information is stored in a way that benefits later behavior. In my talk, I will highlight a series of fMRI experiments that seek to determine (i) how the visual content of memory is actively molded by competing memories, task factors, and intrinsic neural architecture; and (ii) how these memory transformations promote adaptive behavior. Together, these experiments highlight the diverse pressures on human visual memory and how they combine to produce a system that is flexible, efficient, and adaptive. Zoom link?
