The 16th International Workshop on Neural Coding (Neural Coding 2025) will be held in Monte Verità Ascona, Switzerland, in June 1-5, 2025, organized by the Neuroheuristic Research Laboratory, Complexity Sciences Research Group, University of Lausanne.
As in the previous workshops in Prague (1995), Versailles (1997), Osaka (1999), Plymouth (2001), Aulla (2003), Marburg (2005), Montevideo (2007), Tainan (2009), Limassol (2010), Prague (2012), Versailles (2014), Cologne (2016), Torino (2018), Bothell (2021), Piriápolis (2023), this will be a single track trans-disciplinary event bringing together researchers and scholars from many disciplines. As we stand at the threshold of a new era in artificial intelligence, it is remarkable to gather once again—30 years after our inaugural meeting—to discuss the intricacies of neuronal coding and decoding. While significant progress has been made, the value of convening to exchange ideas remains timeless, continually inspiring new research strategies.
Over the decades, the ideas exchanged during these meetings endure through the efforts of new generations of students and researchers. This workshop not only presents a rich program of talks and posters but also seeks to honor the groundbreaking studies that emerged between 1980 and 2020. The meeting spans the range of computational and theoretical neuroscience, in addition to experimental neuroscience informed by functional, theoretical, and computational considerations. As usually, the meeting will create a venue for conversation and sparking collaborations. Attendees of the workshop should thus be prepared to cross the borders of their own disciplines.
