We'll end with a Community Meeting at 6:15pm to reflect on the week and think about where the field and CCN is heading. This will also mark the beginning of planning for CCN 2026!

Poster Session C from 2:00-5:00pm is your last chance to catch all the research you might have missed.

Pieter Roelfsema closes out the conference at 5:00pm with "Brain mechanisms for conscious visual perception of coherent objects and the technology to restore it in blindness".

Tonight's Social Event runs 7:00pm-12:00am at Ijver (ticket required). Time to unwind after all those talks and continue the conversations in a relaxed setting.

CogCompNeuro @cogcompneuro.bsky.social · Aug 14

Additionally there's a Re³-Align Collaborative Hackathon running alongside!

CogCompNeuro @cogcompneuro.bsky.social · Aug 14

The afternoon is all about Keynote+Tutorial sessions (1:45-6:00pm). Three parallel tracks:
🎯 Digital Brain Models for Working Memory
🎯 Language: In search of a neural code
🎯 Uncovering algorithms of visual cognition with multilevel computational theories

CogCompNeuro @cogcompneuro.bsky.social · Aug 14

Morning contributed talks (10:00am-12:00pm) span four sessions:
🔬 Visual Processing in Brains and Models I
🔬 Metacontrol & flexibility in inference and decision-making
🔬 Audition and Language
🔬 Cognitive and Neural Mechanisms of Social Behavior

This afternoon features Poster Session B (1:00-4:00pm), followed by an intro to three GAC debates at 4pm.
The GAC actual sessions run 5:00-6:30pm covering neural coding, visual system development in infancy, and what makes useful cognitive benchmarks. These should make for some great discussions!
