University of Washington NeuroAI Seminar
Welcome to NeuroAI-UW seminar, a regular weekly seminar for UW community organized by NeuroAI Shlizerman Lab.
Meetings are currently held virtually (Summer & Fall 2020, Winter, Spring & Fall 2021, Winter, Spring 2022). Contact us if you would like to join! UW students can enroll into designated courses: AMATH 500L or EE 598F to participate in the seminarial activities.
New: We will be positing some of the invited visitors talks in NeuroAI YouTube playlist.
