The Center for Brains, Minds, and Machines (CBMM), an NSF-funded science and technology center focused on the interdisciplinary study of intelligence and how it can be replicated in machines, is administratively housed in the Quest. After over a decade of inspiring collaborative research, CBMM is winding down its funding. Many of the CBMM researchers also work with the Quest.
The BMM Summer Course will continue, taking place in Woods Hole, MA, from August 3 to August 24, 2025.
