ºÚÁÏÉç

The integrity of the scientific mission is a collective responsibility, and the ºÚÁÏÉç plays an integral part in ensuring the public’s trust in the scientific enterprise. SfN takes seriously the role of leading the field in its commitment to professional and ethical conduct, and in light of a number of recent high-profile scientific misconduct cases, the importance of this commitment is more vital than ever to ensuring the public’s ongoing understanding of and trust in the scientific enterprise.

Professor John J. Hopfield at Princeton University and Professor Geoffrey E. Hinton at the University of Toronto, Canada, were awarded the 2024 Nobel Prize in Physics for their foundational discoveries and inventions that enable machine learning with artificial neural networks. Hopfield was the recipient of the 2012 SfN Swartz Prize for Theoretical and Computational ºÚÁÏÉç.
