We have named this workshop the "Young-NeuroAI workshop" to encourage researchers who are early in their careers to contribute with a presentation or a poster. However, we welcome and strongly encourage participation and contributions from everyone in the NeuroAI community.

About the keynote speaker:
“Doris Tsao is a professor in the neurobiology division of the Department of Molecular & Cell Biology, and the Helen Wills Neuroscience Institute. She studies visual perception in primates in order to understand how the brain creates our sense of reality. She is widely recognized for her work on the neural system for face processing within the temporal lobe, clarifying its anatomical organization and coding principles. Most recently, her lab discovered that this system is part of a larger map of object space.” (Source: Doris Tsao | Research UC Berkeley)

Location: NMBU (Norwegian University of Life Sciences): The Library and Auditorium Aastveit in the Biotechnology Building. You can find a Mazemap link here: https://link.mazemap.com/wajkyRTM
Travel: NMBU is located in Ås, a short train ride south of Oslo (17 minutes by train R21 from Oslo Central Station towards Moss). From Ås station, it's a 1.7 km walk or you can take a bus to NMBU (buses run approximately every 10 minutes, Route 510 towards Drøbak).
From Gardermoen, you can also reach NMBU by taking the Flybuss FB11 towards Fredrikstad and get off at Korsegården (near E6). From there, it's a 1.6 km walk or you can take a bus to NMBU (buses run approximately every 10 minutes, Route 510 towards Ski).
If you arrive by car, there is guest parking available at Eika Treningssenter, just 150 meters from the Biotechnology Building.
This invitation is open, and we encourage you to share it with others who may be interested in participating in the NeuroAI workshop.
Welcome!
