2025 NeuroPSI – Chen Institute joint conference on Brain, Behavior & Beyond
Social cognition, Decision making & Communication, May 19-20, 2025
In complex social environments, making adaptive choices relies heavily on the integration of social cognition, language and communication. These processes take diverse forms and are supported by different neural substrates across species.
Over two days integrating neuroscience and artificial intelligence, we will explore the dynamic interplay between social cognition, emotions, decision making and various communication and language systems from humans, primates, rodents, birds, pinnipeds and drosophilas.
We will host at NeuroPSI — the Paris-Saclay Institute of Neuroscience — several experts of this interdisciplinary research field:
| Lola Cañamero | ETIS, CY Cergy Paris Université, France |
| Isabelle Charrier | NeuroPSI, Saclay, France |
| Jacqueline Clauss | Maryland Psychiatric Research Center, Baltimore, USA |
| Jan Clemens | European Neuroscience Institute, Göttingen, Germany |
| Sylvie Granon | NeuroPSI, Saclay, France |
| Richard Hahnloser | Institüt Neuroinformatik, ETH Zürich, Switzerland |
| Christian Keysers | Netherlands Institute for Neuroscience, Amsterdam, The Netherlands |
| Jean-Rémi King | Laboratoire des systèmes perceptifs, Paris, France |
| Ewelina Knapska | Nencki Institute of Experimental Biology, Poland |
| Adrien Meguerditchian | CRPN, Marseille, France |
| Diego Scheggia | Dept Pharmacological and Biomolecular Sciences, Univ of Milan, Italy |
| Simon Townsend | Dept Evolutionary Anthropology, Zürich, Switzerland |
The organizing committee is composed of NeuroPSI researchers. Coordinator: Cyrille Vaillend. NeuroPSI-Chen Institute Liaison : Valérie Doyère & François Rouyer. Members: Jean-Marc Edeline, Isabelle Charrier, Marion Rivalan, Sylvie Granon. Chen writers: Moran Aharoni, Léa Ceschi, Nastasia Mirofle.
This is the third edition of the yearly NeuroPSI-Chen Institute Joint Conference on Brain, Behavior & Beyond, organized by the Paris-Saclay Institute of Neuroscience (NeuroPSI) and the Tianqiao & Chrissy Chen Institute (TCCI).
