An international group of researchers met in November 2019 in Beijing to explore the intersection of neuroscience and AI. The aim was to offer a fertile ground for stimulating discussions and ideas, including issues such as policy making and the futu...
Clinical neuroscience is increasingly relying on the collection of large volumes of differently structured data and the use of intelligent algorithms for data analytics. In parallel, the ubiquitous collection of unconventional data sources (e.g. mobi...

The brain is an information machine equipped with mind and consciousness, acquired through a long history of evolution. Artificial intelligence (AI) aims at the development of intelligent functions in computers. We show mechanisms of deep learning in...
The brain is worthy of study because it is in charge of behavior. A flurry of recent technical advances in measuring and quantifying naturalistic behaviors provide an important opportunity for advancing brain science. However, the problem of understa...
Despite enormous progress in machine learning, artificial neural networks still lag behind brains in their ability to generalize to new situations. Given identical training data, differences in generalization are caused by many defining features of a...

When the Information Processing Society of Japan (IPSJ) declared the end of the challenge to the Japanese Shogi Association in 2015, the belief was that it would take more than 20 years for computers to catch up with human professional Go players, as...
The curation of neuroscience entities is crucial to ongoing efforts in neuroinformatics and computational neuroscience, such as those being deployed in the context of continuing large-scale brain modelling projects. However, manually sifting through ...
