Dear Paule-Joanne,

I hope you are doing well.

We are organizing a mini workshop on cneuromod next week (Tuesday morning).
We'll also be presenting the algonauts competition.
Also, would it be possible to circulate the announcement at the bic?

Thanks,

Lune P Bellec

Join Us for the first CNeuroMod workshop featuring the Algonauts brain encoding competition 

Curious about creating models of how the brain processes video, sound, and language? Join us for our first
CNeuroMod workshop where we’ll introduce a unique collection of brain data and rich stimuli
(https://cneuromod.ca)—and show you how researchers can create AI models that encode brain activity from
video data.

We’ll also dive into the Algonauts competition (https://algonautsproject.com/), where teams from around
the world challenge each other to build the best AI models that mimic brain activity while participants
are watching videos. This session is designed for a multidisciplinary audience —from psychologists to
computer scientists—and will give you practical insights into the exciting intersection of brain science
and artificial intelligence.

This special session is co-organized by the Unique Network (Union of Neuroscience and AI Québec) and will
be held in a hybrid format (Zoom or in-person).

Date & Time: June 10th, 10 am - 12 pm
Location: Room M6809, CRIUGM, 4545 chemin Queen Mary, Montreal, H3W 1W4

Registration: Free, but mandatory, using
