Conference 'The World Inside the Brain: Internal Predictive Models in Humans and Robots'

Registration is now open for a conference that will present research focusing on internal models across various fields such as psychophysics, neuroscience, and cognitive robotics. This event is jointly organised by postgraduate researchers from the School of Psychology and School of Computer Science of the University of Birmingham, and in association with the Centre for Computational Neuroscience and Cognitive Robotics. The conference will also feature speakers from outside of Birmingham.

There will be a meeting on the preceding day, Thursday, May 23rd 2013, where there will be internal speakers from CNCR. On both days, there will be an opportunity for poster presentations and we therefore encourage postgraduate students to submit an abstract before the registration deadline of Friday, May 17th 2013. Registration is free but places are limited, so we encourage you to register early. Online registration is now available below.
