NIBAI 2025 Workshop on the Nature of Intelligence was held in Sheffield, bringing together over 70 participants from diverse backgrounds in neuroscience, animal cognition, philosophy, and AI.

Thanks to @asab.org the @sheffielduni.bsky.social, and @devjoni.bsky.social for sponsoring this event.

#nibai2025 finished today 5pm in a really positive athmosphere 😎

Thank you speakers, poster presenters (4 really awesome looking posters!), sponsors and organisers, especially Dr. HaDi MaBouDi, who made the event possible
