CRC’ing in Crete

Our lab participated in an exciting workshop titled “Structured Representations for Efficient and Lifelong Learning in Brains and Machines”. The workshop, which took place on the island of Crete in the Mediterranean Sea, brought together a diverse set of speakers and students from different fields at the interface of AI, neuroscience, computer vision, and robotics. This was a result of bringing together communities from ELLIS, the European Laboratory for Learning and Intelligent Systems, and the CRC 1233, the German-funded Collaborative Research Center on Robust Vision.

Our lab described how optimized structural and functional representations in oculomotor control circuitry in the brainstem enable robust adaptive interaction with stimuli in the environment.

The workshop was a great opportunity for students from different fields to widen their horizons, and learn about the latest advances in multiple fields.
