DESCRIPTION:The Feindel Brain and Mind Seminar Series will advance the visi
 on of Dr. William Feindel (1918–2014)\, Former Director of the Neuro (1972
 –1984)\, to constantly bridge the clinical and research realms. The talks 
 will highlight the latest advances and discoveries in neuropsychology\, co
 gnitive neuroscience\, and neuroimaging.\n\nSpeakers will include scientis
 ts from across The Neuro\, as well as colleagues and collaborators locally
  and from around the world. The series is intended to provide a virtual fo
 rum for scientists and trainees to continue to foster interdisciplinary ex
 changes on the mechanisms\, diagnosis and treatment of brain and cognitive
  disorders.\n\n\nRegister for In-Person\n\nTo watch online\, click here\n
 \nHost: Xiaoqian Chai\n\n\nMulti-Brain Neuroscience of Inter-Brain Synchro
 nization: from Biological Mechanisms in Humans to Computational Principles
  for AI\n\nAbstract: Inter-brain synchronization—the coordinated neural ac
 tivity between individuals—has become a key topic in social neuroscience. 
 This talk will examine how multiple brains interact during social exchange
 s\, focusing on the biological mechanisms involved and their potential app
 lications in artificial intelligence. We will explore recent advancements 
 in hyperscanning methodologies that enable simultaneous neural recordings 
 from multiple participants\, revealing how inter-brain synchronization occ
 urs during verbal and non-verbal interactions\, joint attention\, and coop
 eration. Factors like attachment\, familiarity\, and context influence thi
 s synchronization. We will discuss how these neural coupling patterns rela
 te to social coordination and can serve as biomarkers for social cognitive
  development and conditions affecting social dynamics. In the second part\
 , we will translate these insights into AI. By using principles from dynam
 ical systems theory and information theory\, we demonstrate how neural syn
 chronization can inspire new architectures for social learning and multi-a
 gent coordination. This Social NeuroAI approach aims ultimately to enhance
  human-machine interaction and improve the social capabilities of artifici
 al agents. Multi-brain neuroscience may thus not only advance our understa
 nding of social cognition but also offer promising directions for developi
 ng an inter-personalized approach to mental health as well as more aligned
  and cooperative AI systems.\n\nGuillaume Dumas\n\nAssociate Professor\, U
 niversité de Montréal\n\n\n\nGuillaume Dumas is an Associate Professor of 
 Computational Psychiatry in the Faculty of Medicine at the Université de M
 ontréal and Principal Investigator of the Precision Psychiatry and Social 
 Physiology Laboratory at the CHU Sainte-Justine Azrieli Research Center. H
 e holds the FRQ-IVADO research chair in “Social Neuro-AI and Inter-Persona
 lized Psychiatry” and is an appointed academic member of Mila – Quebec Art
 ificial Intelligence Institute. In 2023\, he was recognized as a CIFAR Azr
 ieli Global Scholar in the 'Brain\, Mind\, and Consciousness' program and 
 nominated as a Future Leader in Canadian Brain Research by the Brain Canad
 a Foundation. With an anti-disciplinary background spanning engineering (M
 Eng)\, theoretical physics (MSc)\, cognitive science (MSc)\, neuroscience 
 (PhD)\, and medicine (HDR)\, Dr. Dumas's research cross-fertilizes questio
 ns about the neural foundations of human social cognition\, integrating bi
 ological\, psychological\, and social facets of the human mind. Beyond aca
 demia\, Dr. Dumas actively engages in initiatives at the intersection of s
 cience and society\, championing open science\, advising governments and i
 nternational organizations on AI and digital health strategy\, and advocat
 ing for cognitive freedom as a recurring invited expert at the United Nati
 ons.\n
