CNS 2023: Day 2 Highlights

The second day of CNS 2023 was packed with 6 stimulating symposia — on topics ranging from data science and electrophysiological studies of human memory to how the human brain forgets information and learning and generalization in people and machines — two poster sessions, a DEI workshop, and the George A. Miller Prize lecture by Sabine Kastner. Check out some highlights in photos and tweets below.
 

Poster Sessions B and C:

Hey #cns2023! Check out Valerie Klein’s poster (B102). She’ll tell you about how to use low-cost EEG and naturalistic shape matching tasks to study collaboration among novel teams. pic.twitter.com/zmGNtqlF9t

Symposia:

Brilliant move to start the session with the sound system blasting "shake it off" to remind us of the everyday challenges of earworms 😆 #CNS2023

AI networks appear to perform well on tasks that require abstraction, compositionality, and generalization. This is surprising, since their architectures alone lack the inductive biases which support these abilities – Ellie Pavlick @Brown_NLP #CNS2023

Colors of the Brain DEI workshop:

Christian Cazares discusses the challenges faced by first-gen students, people of color, and other minoritized individuals in STEM and how a lack of diversity in the neuroscience research workforce threatens scientific impact – @fleabrained @UCSD_COB #CNS2023 pic.twitter.com/I24QZdEv4q

From a thoughtful mentorship structure for the @UCSD_COB scholars to the stipend structure to the professional dev opps on offer (inc in #scicomm), @fleabrained concludes this excellent session, saying that while a lot may seem like common sense, it takes a lot of work #CNS2023
