WELCOME

We are happy to invite you to Computational and Systems Neuroscience (COSYNE) 2027, taking place in Montréal, QC, Canada, from 11-16 March 2027! COSYNE brings together researchers from systems neuroscience, computational biology, and related fields to explore the neural basis of behavior and cognition. It’s a unique meeting point for both experimental and theoretical work, and it’s known for fostering deep discussion, fresh ideas, and unexpected collaborations.

Founded in 2004 to provide an inclusive forum for the exchange of empirical and theoretical approaches to problems in systems neuroscience, in order to understand how neural systems function. Today, it is recognized as the premier computational and systems neuroscience conference, drawing over 1,000 researchers annually from a wide variety of disciplines.

The success of COSYNE and its scientific program depends critically on the free exchange of ideas and recent findings, which involves the international neuroscience community at large. Therefore, we sincerely hope that you will attend. We can’t wait to welcome you to COSYNE 2027!
