NABI 2025 Symposium: "Memory in Context"
The core focus of NABI's current academic year is our flagship symposium, Memory in Context, a deep dive into recent advances in understanding how memory is structured, retrieved, and transformed within contextual frameworks. This theme integrates perspectives from neuroscience, machine learning, and cognitive modeling. The symposium will be held on February 2026, at Seoul National University Hospital.

Grounded in landmark studies such as Stachenfeld et al. (2017) on predictive maps in the hippocampus and Whittington et al. (2020) on relational memory and transformers, our sessions explore the dynamic roles of context in spatial and conceptual memory. Emerging work such as Raju et al. (2024) and Dedieu et al. (2024) highlights how AI models reinterpret classical hippocampal theories.
What We Do:
NABI is an interdisciplinary student-led study group that explores brain intelligence—both natural and artificial. We organize structured seminars, collaborative reading groups, and live discussions connecting computational models with biological data.
