WTI Conference: Energizing Cognition

Chaired by Daniel Colón-Ramos, Director of the Center for Neurodevelopment and Plasticity, the full-day event explores how energy shapes neural function, cognition, and intelligent systems, and examines what energy means at different scales—from molecules to minds to machines. Participants will help identify shared principles, tensions, and open questions across fields that can guide future exploration in the Institute’s next Grand Challenges in Cognition.
