We are happy to announce our next workshop: Making scientific illustrations for papers with AI tools! You will learn how to use simple prompts to reduce the time you need to spend on preparing visuals for your papers. And focus on what is REALLY important - science itself!
We are happy to announce Nencki School of Ideas in Neuroscience! We are going to discuss exciting theories, have a philosopher's eye view on neuroscience, and show how to relate theories to experiments - and develop new ideas!
We are super happy to announce our School of Ideas in Neuroscience 2024! Come to Warsaw to discuss the most exciting theories and ideas with neuroscientists & philosophers! We provide beautiful surroundings, great atmosphere and a lot of time to talk and think together!
We are super happy to announce our first Workshop of Ideas in Neuroscience! During this event, inspired by the spirit of our School of Ideas, we will discuss naturalistic behaviors: what do we fail to see when we head-fix our mouse? And when it's fine?
We are happy to announce the second edition of our Transatlantic Behavioral Neuroscience Summer School, organized by us and scientists from
@UBAonline
! 12 days of workshops in

, 3D printing and much more! This time - in Buenos Aires!
1/2 While the discussion about the AI-generated graphic trash continues, we would like to introduce (once again) our fantastic, real graphic designers. The person behind posters below is Weronika Reroń, designer based in Warsaw.
We are super happy to announce the 2023 edition of our School of Ideas in Neuroscience! One week with fantastic speakers and engaging discussions about theories in neuro, AI, and neurophilosophy!
We are super happy to announce the third (!) edition of our Transatlantic Behavioural Summer School! This time we come back to Poland - with new ideas (but the same enthusiasm). If you want to learn the newest tools in behavioural neuroscience in an amazing environment - apply!
Our Transatlantic Behavioural Neuroscience Summer School is approaching an end! 10 days of workshops in electronics,
@arduino
, 3D printing,
@bonsai_rx
,
@DeepLabCut
, and Python and fantastic lectures.
There is less than a month left to apply to our workshop! We are going to discuss topic of innateness and instinct; try to rethink the relationship between genes and behaviour and the role of multiple factors in behavioural development!
We would like to remind you that there are only 5 days left till the deadline for registration to the School of Ideas in Neuroscience (and we are not going to extend it)! Join us in July in Warsaw!
We would like to remind you that the deadline for registration to our Workshop is November 20th! We are also pleased to inform you that Nedah Nemati from Columbia University has joined our woerkshop speakers list! More info:
We are approaching the end of Nencki School of Ideas in Neuroscience! Six days of fantastic talks and discussions. And we have already started thinking about the next year edition!
And our workshop Rethinking Naturalistic Behaviour is over! Thank you all for four days of intense discussions, and we really hope that you left Terzolas with a proper mix of clarity and confusion. And there is a lot to come soon!
And the School of Ideas in Neuroscience 2023 is over! Thanks to all our students and speakers for a week of fantastic discussions and talks! And see you next year!
We are happy to announce the second Workshop of Ideas in 2024! On April 19-21th in Warsaw, we will discuss the origins of order in behaviour. Is instinct a useful term in modern neuroscience?
How do genes influence and constrain behavioural development?
Many of you have found our April Fool's day diSTURRBLYING. No worries, there will be no AI art here as long as we live. But there are only 5 days left to apply to our REAL Optics and Microscopy workshop!
Our Transatlantic Behavioral Neuroscience Summer School in Buenos Aires has just begun! We are super exciting for 12 days of workshops, talks and discussions!
The designer of all our posters (ang logos) is one and the only Weronika Reroń, a graphic designer based in Warsaw. She creates posters, draws illustrations for science, press and websites, designs books and visual identification!
A very provocative piece in
@_TheTransmitter
by
@sheenamon
by Sheena Montanari about naturalistic behaviour, that at length discusses also conclusions from our workshop Rethinking Naturalistic Behaviour - we strongly recommend you to read it!
We spend most of our time recently reminding you about our deadlines; we should probably create a deadline department. Today we would like to remind you that the deadline for TBNSS registration is Feb 15th! Come to Poland and learn everything you need to study behavior!
Join our Ideas in Neuroscience Community on Discord! You will find there the announcements of our new initiatives, information about our Journal Club - and a place to discuss your ideas. Message us to get the link!
Join us live at Nencki - or online via Meets - on our first School of Ideas Journal Club! The aim of our journal club is to discuss theoretical and philosophical papers related to neuroscience and cognitive sciences. Contact us to get the link!
Members of our team:
@matkstcki
and
@WiktorRorot
talked in the
@projektpulsar
about our School of Ideas of Neuroscience! Podcast is in Polish, but we can assure you it went fine.
Today we have started our new project, Nencki Open Lab Academy of Neuroscience (NOLAN for short, no, it's not pretentious) - lectures and workshops for students in Warsaw. Here goes
@matkstcki
explaining the process of habituation in Stentor coeruleus.
Meet Adam Kosik! He has a special fondness for post-war modernism; he brings out the character of his drawings using bold colors that do not directly refer to the drawn objects: he tries to find a compromise between the literalness of architecture and illustrative fantasy.
We have deconstructed the concept of naturalistic behaviour in Terzolas - now we are going to Konstanz to find its meaning again! Join us for a week of exploring nature, studying behaviour inside and outside the lab and engaging discussions! Link below!
We remind you that the final deadline for the Transatlantic Behavioural Neuroscience Summer School is April 12th! Want to learn Arduino, electronics, 3D printing,
@bonsai_rx

@DeepLabCut
, and many more? Apply!
Sorting out equipment for our December Brainteberg Vehicles Robotics Workshops! You will learn how to build robots - and, on the way, how behaviours evolve!
More details soon!
Thanks to our speakers and participants of our Workshop of Ideas in Neuroscience: Origins of Order in Bhevaiour! We had three days of intense discussion, and there are new plans for the future to come!
We are supper excited to announce that we are expanding!

Ehh XXI century and people are still thinking about "regions" being "responsible" for something. It's the whole termously - ocfontory - vioblal network that is responsible for sturbly.

gave a metaworkshop on workshops, aka "How to organise a scientific event". On this photo you can see him explaining our so called Nechayev method of organising events. It works.
The issue od goal-directedness and agency turned out to be a pervasive theme of our School - and many of those discussions were inspired by fantastic talk by
@KathrynNave

Thanks. What is most interesting, it was the first image we got from Bing, and it's not even much more absurd than things that were actually published.

We have started our Optics and Microscopy Workshop at Biebrza Marshes. On this photo you can see Fred Marbach explaining what is light (baby don't hurt me, don't hurt me, no more).
Fun fact:
