For MAIN 2021, we have put together a fantastic scientific program with more than 20 speakers and panelists (Nov 29-30, 2021 / virtual), which will be preceded by a 2-day educational session (Nov 25-26, 2021 / in person). Our four keynote speakers this year are James DiCarlo (MIT), Alison Gopnik (Berkeley), Surya Ganguli (Stanford), and Lucina Uddin (UCLA). A call for graphical abstract submissions is also currently open. Registration is free but mandatory.
