So grateful to everyone who stopped by the Neuromatch booth yesterday at #COSYNE2026 for our community meet-up.

Today is the last day of #COSYNE, so if you haven't made it by yet, come find us at the booth! We would love to chat about:

🤓 Neuromatch Academy courses: student & TA applications close TODAY, 15 March! https://neuromatch.io/courses/
💻️ Our new AI Sentience Scholars program & upcoming webinar on 1 April. Register here: https://us06web.zoom.us/webinar/register/WN_z9g1Ut7DQM6N3asbVO97aw#/registration

At #COSYNE2026? #Neuromatch has a booth!

Join us for a meetup on Saturday, 14 March at 12:15 at the booth.

Whether you're an alumnus, a teaching assistant, a content creator, or just curious about getting involved; this one's for you!

#COSYNE #ComputationalNeuroscience #CompNeuro

Computational and Systems Neuroscience #COSYNE2026 is taking place in Lisbon, Portugal, from 12–17 March.

We’re excited to be there connecting with our global community, learning from the latest research, and sharing the work Neuromatch is doing.

If you’re attending, we’d love to meet! Let’s connect and continue building an open, collaborative #CompNeuro ecosystem.

This is work that we presented at last year's #Cosyne workshop on #GNN s https://sites.google.com/bu.edu/gnnworkshop-cosyne2025/home. Better late than never. You can reproduce everything with the associated notebooks. I think it's a good start to learn how to use GNNs to infer something about NNs. https://arxiv.org/abs/2602.13325

It's All Connected!

📣 Travel awards are available for undergrads, postdocs, and PIs wanting to attend #COSYNE25! A great opportunity for our community!

📍 Computational and Systems Neuroscience (#COSYNE) will be held in Lisbon, Portugal, 12-15 March 2026.

The award can be used to cover flights, food, and relevant travel expenses. They are especially encouraging undergrads and applications from traditionally under-represented and under-served groups.

Deadline is 12 November.

Computational and systems neuroscience needs development

Embracing recent advances in developmental biology can drive a new wave of innovation.

The Transmitter: Neuroscience News and Perspectives
@manisha The #Cosyne abstracts are too long and some journals would treat them as "publications" and not allow them to be subsequently published. Moreover, cosyne abstracts are technically peer reviewed and thus live at that ugly "journal" vs "abstract" boundary. A lot of people don't want their cosyne abstracts published. They want to go to these conferences to discuss data that they are not ready to preprint (say to get comments on or to try out new ways of looking at the data).
#Cosyne needs to decide if it is a journal or a conference. 😡​ They ask for 2-page "abstracts", but then review the 2 pages as if they are a full paper. 2/3 reviews we got back included statements of "I don't understand why they didn't do X", where X was (a) Figure 5 of a 10-page paper ("abstract" included figure 1-3) or (b) a 3-year $500k project beyond the actual submission. The one good review was for a project that could be completely described in 2 pages. That's not an abstract.
