AI Breakfast: The Future of Neuroscience

Our May edition of the AI Breakfast explores one of the most exciting frontiers in science: the intersection of AI and the brain. How is AI accelerating our understanding of neuroscience, and how is the human brain shaping our understanding of how AI systems work?
Our panel of researchers, founders, and investors will dig into the breakthroughs redefining the field, from brain-computer interfaces to neural decoding and beyond. We'll explore what the brain can teach us about building better models, where the biggest commercial opportunities are emerging, and what it takes to build a venture at this uniquely complex intersection of deep science and technology.
