<div><font face="Arial"><b>OVERVIEW</b></font></div>
<div><font face="Arial">The quest to understand human intelligence and engineer advanced forms of artificial intelligence are increasingly intertwined. The Algonauts Project brings biological and artificial intelligence researchers together on a common platform
to exchange ideas and advance both fields. Our first challenge and workshop, Explaining the Human Visual Brain, focuses on building computer vision models that simulate how the brain sees and recognizes objects, a topic that has long fascinated neuroscientists
and computer scientists.</font></div>
<div><font face="Arial"><br>
</font></div>
<div><font face="Arial"><b>CHALLENGE</b></font></div>
<div><font face="Arial">The first Algonauts Project challenge evaluates computational models based on human visual brain data.</font></div>
