Applicants double for Machine Intelligence course

CCBR at IIT-M is an interdisciplinary center focused on a two-way interchange between Neuroscience and Engineering. The CCBR-IITM comprises faculty across several IIT-M departments and three Visiting Chair Professors–Partha P Mitra, CSHL; Anand Raghunathan, Purdue and Mriganka Sur, MIT.

The course on Machine Intelligence and Brain Research was initiated in January 2018 and has experienced a strong growth in interest, with number of applicants doubling for the second session of the course to be held in January 2019.

The workshop component of the course comprises pedagogical lectures and tutorials by invited speakers, to foster national and international collaborations in the subject area. An outreach component of the workshop will include participants from the computer industry and medical research. As part of the course, IIT-M is also organising an art exhibition titled Brain and Machine Intelligence inspired Art.
