Greetings<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

We are happy to welcome you to the IX House Symposium<\/strong> of Instituto do C\u00e9rebro (ICe) of the Universidade Federal do Rio Grande do Norte. Recently, artificial intelligence and interactive language models have become integral to our daily lives. Reflecting this shift, the theme of this year\u2019s IX House Symposium is \u201cThe Machine and the Brain\u201d.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

In fact, we are nearing 100 years of progress since Alan Turing\u2019s pioneering work in the 1930s, which introduced the concept of artificial intelligence. This idea has since evolved into digital computers and computer-controlled robots designed to perform tasks typically associated with intelligent beings. Still, the machine is far from as intricate as the brain, for example, we can learn new information by just seeing it once, while artificial systems need to be trained multiple times with the same information. Furthermore, we can learn new information while maintaining the knowledge we already have, while a machine may replace or  degrade the previous information. Thereby, in our attempt to add to existing knowledge, studying basic research questions is still fundamental to modern neuroscience. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Over the years our House Symposium has kept steady in turbulent times of political shifts, global pandemics and the tedious physical relocation of labs into our new Instituto do C\u00e9rebro at the central campus of UFRN. Glancing back at previous House Symposium we can see that talks and poster numbers remain stable over the years, with exceptions of when groups of international visitors have participated in our meeting (figure below). <\/p>\n\n\n\n

This year, the IX House Symposium<\/strong> will feature 20 talks and lets hope for a new record of posters, showcasing the latest findings and providing a comprehensive overview of the past year\u2019s work by the ICe community. Finally we would also like to thank all our collaborators from near and far for contributing to ICe\u2019s research endeavors.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
