Although the research communities studying Predictive Processes and Statistical Learning sprout from different traditions, they share a core interest in how we/our brains pick up on patterns in the environment.
In this event, we will bring together both communities, with the goal of exchanging ideas in a rich and relaxed scientific environment. We will host lectures and round tables by our invited speakers. Attendees will have a chance to present either talks or posters. Plus there will be plenty of time for social activities and informal discussions.
