USC-TCCI Forum 2025

USC-Chen Institute Frontiers Forum
“Sensation and Motivation”
Building on the success of its inaugural forum in collaboration with the Tianqiao & Chrissy Chen Institute, the 2nd iteration will retain its primary focus on the integration and processing of external and internal sensory information that drive behavioral responses. Additionally, the forum will broaden its discussions to include the rapid-growing fields of deep-learning and artificial intelligence. By bringing together esteemed researchers from various disciplines, our goal is to understand a general question of how brain circuits produce sensation and motivation. This event will serve as a hub for sharing the latest research breakthroughs, identifying salient questions and guiding principles, and fostering prospective collaborations.
