CORTEX Conference by Bruno Bontempi
Aquitaine Institute for Cognitive and Integrative Neuroscience, CNRS UMR 5287, University of Bordeaux Friday 28 April, 11am, CRNL amphi The winding and endless road to systems memory consolidation Our memories are not acquired instantly. Initially labile, they undergo a gradual process of consolidation via which they acquire stability and persistence. According to the traditional theory […]
Conference by Becket Ebitz
Becket Ebitz Department of Neuroscience, Université de Montréal, Canada Tuesday the 4th of April at 11am in the conference room of the SBRI Neurobiology of Mistakes Humans and other animals do not always choose the most rewarding course of action, even when we have ample time and computational resources. Why do we make mistakes? The […]

CORTEX Conference by Ilya Monosov (Washington University in St Louis)
THE NEUROBIOLOGY OF CURIOSITY Animals and artificial agents are motivated to seek reward. Also many animals display intrinsic motivation to explore, even when their curiosity does not result in immediate or future rewards. For example, humans and monkeys explore novel objects regardless of their task relevance, and often they are motivated to resolve their uncertainty […]
