Subject: Advertising a BRAIN NeuroAI Workshop and Early-Career Scholar Poster Session
Dear Giovanna,

Hope you’re doing well. I was a student member of the Wu Tsai Institute when I was at Yale, and greatly appreciated all the training activities. I am now at the NIH, working at NIDA (National Institute of Drug Abuse), and collaborating to help organize a BRAIN NeuroAI Workshop<https://n4solutionsllc.com/brainneuroai/> on November 12-13, 2024. We are currently accepting abstract submissions from early-career scholars (high school, undergraduate, graduate or medical school students, post-baccalaureate trainees, postdoctoral scholars, medical residents, or clinical fellows). Abstracts must be submitted<https://n4solutionsllc.com/brain-abstract-submissions/> by Wednesday, September 18 for the chance to present at the Poster Blitz in-person and receive a $400 honorarium.

Would you be willing to share the announcement below with Wu Tsai Institute trainees?

See below for more information.

Thank you,
Jessica

--------------------------------

We invite you to register<https://docs.google.com/forms/d/e/1FAIpQLSdAW9KKWLhvywyCJ-3kCxmStWCHtt-zLifR3jsG_0ShrvCssA/viewform> for the BRAIN NeuroAI Workshop<https://n4solutionsllc.com/brainneuroai/> on November 12-13, 2024, which will be held virtually and in-person at the NIH Campus in Bethesda, Maryland. The BRAIN NeuroAI Workshop will bring together researchers across career levels and diverse fields to explore how the BRAIN Initiative’s data, tools, and technologies can reciprocally advance the emerging science at the intersection of neuroscience and artificial intelligence (see NeuroAI Workshop agenda<http://n4solutionsllc.com/brain-agenda/>). Discovering fundamental principles of intelligence in biological and artificial systems will require new approaches, models, metrics, and ethical frameworks for comparing, evaluating, and developing theories and technologies about brains, brain-like computing, and future applications for advancing brain health. 

On Day 2 of the Workshop (November 13), there will be an in-person NeuroAI Early-Career Scholar Poster Session<https://n4solutionsllc.com/brain-abstract-submissions/>. Abstracts must be submitted<https://n4solutionsllc.com/brain-abstract-submissions/> by Wednesday, September 18 (11:59 pm ET). We are currently accepting abstract submissions from early-career scholars (high school, undergraduate, graduate or medical school students, post-baccalaureate trainees, postdoctoral scholars, medical residents, or clinical fellows). All applicants should expect to be asked to prepare a 1-minute Poster Blitz talk if their abstract is selected for the NeuroAI Early-Career Scholar Honorarium and Poster Blitz. 

All accepted abstracts will be considered for the NeuroAI Early-Career Scholar Honorarium and Poster Blitz session. Those selected will be expected to present the Poster Blitz in-person on Day 2 and will receive a $400 honorarium. Submissions must follow the detailed instructions for BRAIN NeuroAI Workshop Early-Career Scholar Abstract Submission<https://n4solutionsllc.com/wp-content/uploads/2024/08/NeuroAI_Poster_Abstract_Instructions_Criteria2024.pdf>.

Relevant submission topics include but are not limited to:
Theory, models, and brain-inspired AI algorithms
Metrics and methods for mapping models to brains
Neuromorphic computing models and hardware design
Embodied intelligence and bio-inspired robotics
Neuroethics of AI and NeuroAI for BRAIN
