Workshop AIM for the Brain


From artificial to natural intelligence – AIM for the Brain

Machine‑learning systems are now powerful tools for probing how the brain generates thoughts, memories, perception and actions. The “AIM for the Brain” workshop series at the University of Münster creates an interdisciplinary platform for researchers who already use, or could benefit from, AI and ML methods. The workshop aims to show how data‑driven AI models can illuminate natural intelligence and to build lasting scientific connections across the university.

Organisers: Center for Data Science and Complexity & Otto Creutzfeldt Center for Cognitive and Behavioural Neuroscience.

Starts May, 18, 2026, 12:30 pm, ends May, 18, 2026,  6 pm, room 404, Institute of Theoretical Physics
