10th Edition of International Conference on Neurology and Brain Disorders | Baltimore, Maryland, USA | October 21 -23, 2024
Dear Colleagues,
It is an honor to welcome participants of the 10th International Conference on Neurology and Brain Disorders. We are living at the time of great accomplishments in neuroscience, which are accompanied by great expectations and growing challenges. Accomplishments are due to a confluence of factors including emergence of powerful techniques allowing in vivo monitoring and measurement of neuronal processes, development of computational systems enabling analysis and manipulation of vast amounts of data and, last but not least, recent successes in developing computational approximations of neuronal mechanisms (AI). Rapid advances in all these areas create expectations that breakthrough results unlocking “the mysteries of the brain” are close at hand. Challenges come from the mounting uncertainty about future relations between AI systems and humans and, more importantly, from the realization that “mystery” is shaped as a jigsaw puzzle so that increasing the number of data pieces can make the ‘unlocking’ task harder, and that approximating neuronal mechanisms in computers does not necessarily equate to understanding them. Thanks are due to organizers and Scientific Committee of this conference for creating a venue for discussing these challenges.
