Neuro AI: Can Generative AI Help Us Understand the Human Brain?

Generative AI systems display remarkable cognitive abilities once thought unique to humans. Can these models—built from silicon rather than neurons—help us understand how the brain produces perception, thought, and action? This symposium gathers leading experts in psychology, neuroscience, and AI to explore the emerging field of “NeuroAI”, a research program that promises to transform our understanding of the human brain.
