This is Turing's Neuro-AI reading group where we discuss topics related to the intersection between Neuroscience and AI.
We meet once every two weeks on Fridays, 2-3pm. Anyone is welcome to suggest a topic to discuss.
The meetings are usually very relaxed, bring anything you'd like to talk about: articles, videos, podcasts, company highlights, etc.
The group is run by Levan Bokeria lbokeria@turing.ac.uk, Balázs Mészáros bmeszaros@turing.ac.uk, and Jess Yu jyu@turing.ac.uk.
