Funding Stream
The Project Falls Under:
Neuro-AI -This stream will support interdisciplinary teams developing novel approaches at the intersection of neuroscience and artificial intelligence, integrating Connected Minds' expertise in neural systems and behaviour with IVADO's strengths in machine learning and computational modelling. Projects could explore areas such as biologically inspired AI systems, brain-informed algorithms, neural data-driven model development, closed-loop neurotechnology, and AI systems that learn from and interact with human cognition in naturalistic settings.
AI Ethics - This stream will support collaborations focused on the ethical, societal, and governance dimensions of AI, particularly as they relate to human-centred and neurotechnology applications. By combining Connected Minds' focus on human experience, equity, and societal impact with IVADO's leadership in responsible AI frameworks, projects could develop ethically grounded AI systems informed by real-world human data, with particular attention to algorithmic fairness, transparency, accessibility, and the mitigation of bias in AI deployment.
Indigenous Project Designation
Check this box if the proposed project also involves Indigeneity and/or is led or co-led by an Indigenous Principal Investigator (PI) or Co-Principal Investigator (Co-PI).
