Neuroscientists say AI is accelerating brain science: a field report from CoSyNe 2026
HistedLab · x · 2026-10-05
- Neuroscientist HistedLab explains that the reason he and @neurokim invited Chris Olah to speak at CoSyNe last year was to surface how AI is rapidly advancing computational insights and reshaping neuroscience.
- A companion Substack field report by Renato Duarte, "News from the Front: A Personal Summary of CoSyNe 2026," offers a reflective long-form recap of the conference's four-day main track, based on handwritten notes and post-event reflection.
- Duarte admits he couldn't keep up daily dispatches during the intense schedule, but frames this as a transformational moment in our understanding of the brain rather than a stagnant period.
