At SfN2026, minisymposium MIN12 "Embodied Computation" (chaired by Evan Schaffer and Shreya Saxena, Nov 15, 2:00–4:30 PM) explores how embodiment shapes sensorimotor and cognitive processing.
Talks include multitasking recurrent networks using compositional strategies for motor control (Saxena), "Why NeuroAI needs NeuroAgents" (Aran Nayebi), autonomous behavior and whole-brain dynamics in embodied zebrafish (Xaq Pitkow), simulating the brain and body of the fruit fly (Mason McGill), brain-like dynamics depending on learning rules and structure (Matthew Perich), and motor control as a cascade of cybernetic systems (Il Park).
