A fantastic first meeting for the Virtual Brain Twin consortium!

Hello! I'm organizing one of the event of the Pint of Science in Amsterdam. I've selected two great speakers from the UvA who will be talking about plant breeding and how to make our crops more sustainable, and also how Artificial Intelligence is revolutionizing agriculture!

Integrated Information Theory (IIT) and the predictive processing theories Active Inference (AI) and Neurorepresentationalism (NREP) have different views on how conscious percepts arise. The INTREPID project explores these contrasting theories! osf.io/4rn85
