The Center for Mind, Brain, Computation and Technology (MBCT) Annual Symposia highlight how neurobiological studies can inform and be guided by ideas from machine learning, artificial intelligence and cognitive science, and how new technologies emerging now may further propel their studies in the coming years.
The brain's function is powerfully shaped by experience. During the last several decades, there has been considerable progress in understanding experience-dependent changes in many of the brain's functions, from the molecular mechanisms of synaptic plasticity to its function in learning, as well as the role of deficits in synaptic plasticity to a wide array of neurological and psychiatric disorders.
