bioAI research group

Simula Research Laboratory | University of Oslo

Welcome to the bioAI group’s website!

At the Biologically-Inspired Artificial Intelligence (bioAI) research group, we develop brain-inspired AI methods to advance our understanding of brain function and enhance AI technology. Our focus areas include

  • energy efficiency
  • explainability
  • robustness
  • causal representation learning
  • continual learning

We are hosted by the Simula Research Laboratory in collaboration with the University of Oslo (UiO). We also maintain strong ties with UiO’s Centre for Integrative Neuroplasticity (CINPLA).

If our research interests align with yours, we’d love to hear from you. Contact us to learn more.
