AREADNE 2026
Research in Encoding and Decoding of
Neural Ensembles

23-27 June 2026
Eliopoulos Conference Center
Milos, Greece

Celebrating
20 Years of
AREADNE
Conferences

http://areadne.org
info@areadne.org

INTRODUCTION

A fundamental problem in neuroscience is to understand how the
activation of neuronal populations gives rise to higher order
functions including learning, memory, cognition, perception, action
and ultimately conscious awareness. Electrophysiological recordings
have revealed considerable information about the firing patterns of
neurons, with substantial strides being made especially in the last
two decades, but many mysteries remain how collections of neurons
interact to perform these functions.  Understanding ensemble activity
is critical to understanding the brain.

CONFERENCE MISSION

The AREADNE Conferences have been created to gather global scientific
leaders who work on neural ensembles and establish a touch-point for
the widely disparate and hybrid field. With a beautiful setting on
Milos, the conferences have been carefully planned to foster
discussion and interaction between attendees to encourage the
establishment of lasting professional relationships.  The meetings
continue our efforts to promote systems neuroscience in Greece through
creating a world-class forum for cutting-edge research.  For 2026, we
will be Celebrating Twenty Years of AREADNE Conferences!

FORMAT AND SPEAKERS

The conference will span four days, in morning and early evening
sessions.  Confirmed speakers include experts in the field of
multi-neuron experiment, theory, and analysis (in alphabetic order):
