Helsinki Brain and Mind network (HB&M), in collaboration with the Neuroscience Special Interest Group (SIG) of Finnish Center for Artificial Intelligence (FCAI), organized an event to discuss challenges and opportunities related to the access and sharing of clinical and normative neuro and brain data needed in both the academic and industrial R&D.
Using and limiting the use of data for research is a topic that has been hotly discussed worldwide. It is a globally recognised challenge that needs to be solved. During the Data & AI for Neuroscience seminar, researchers, industry representatives, and policymakers were given the floor to add their voices / contribute to the discussion. Topics ranging from data infrastructures and possibilities of AI to research cooperation were brought to attention.
The event participants were able to exchange thoughts and gain insights into the challenges and possibilities of data from various points of view.
Seminar presentations were recorded, and you can find them below.
