IIT Madras has begun winter course of machine intelligence and brain research ion January 2, 2020. The course is focused on interactive learning of brain and intelligence in terms of engineering and neuroscience.
On January 2, IIT Madras initiated its winter course on Machine Intelligence and Brain Research by Center for Computational Brain Research (CCBR). The winter course by IIT Madras is intended to provide interactive learning of brains and intelligence from the viewpoint of Neuroscience and engineering.
The winter course on the campus will be concluded on January 10, 2020, and will consist of over 400 registrations along with course credit to 50 students of IIT Madras. The workshop for 2020 will not only comprise of prominent research lectures from recognisable speakers from all over the world, but will also consist of hands-on practical learning in terms of machine learning, neuroanatomy, and research on brain science.

The CCBR was established in the IIT Madras campus with a focus on two of the primary domains of research: intelligence and neuroscience. The establishment was completed with the donation as received by Alumnus Mr Kris Gopalakrishnan, who is known as the Chairman of Axilor Ventures and also the Co-Founder of Infosys. In collaboration with the IIT Madras researcher and faculties, the centre research is supervised by three of the renowned global researchers, Prof Mriganka Sur from Massachusetts Institute of Technology, USA, Prof Partha Mitra from Cold Spring Harbor Laboratory, USA, and Prof Anand Raghunathan from Purdue University, USA.
