Past recipients of the Swartz Prize are awarded the Gruber Prize
All the four researchers recently awarded the 2022 Gruber Prize in Neuroscience -- Prof. Larry Abbott (Columbia U), Prof. Emery Neal Brown (MIT/Harvard-MGH), Prof. Terrence Sejnowski (Salk/UCSD), and Prof. Haim Sompolinsky (Hebrew U / Harvard U) -- have been earlier recipients of the Swartz Prize for Theoretical and Computational Neuroscience (in 2010, 2020, 2011, and 2015, respectively). For over 25 years the Swartz Foundation has had a leading role in fostering this important field of research, and this Prize is a wonderful affirmation.

The Swartz Prize for Theoretical and Computational Neuroscience
The Swartz Prize for Theoretical and Computational Neuroscience was established in 2008. It is an annual award supported by the Swartz Foundation and administered by the Society for Neuroscience.
The award "honors an individual whose activities have produced a significant cumulative contribution to theoretical models or computational methods in neuroscience or who has made a particularly noteworthy recent advance in theoretical or computational neuroscience."
The winner receives a cash prize of US$30000 and expenses to attend the Society for Neuroscience annual meeting. The list of awardees is available
here.
The awardee for 2021 is Prof. Nicolas Brunel of Duke University.
Mind/Brain Lecture Series
Since 1997 the Swartz Foundation has been sponsoring the annual Mind/Brain Lecture Series, hosted by the Department of Neurobiology and Behavior at Stony Brook University In New York. For a list of past speakers please click
here.
For information about the current lecture please click
here.
As described in this link, "the lecture series promotes the philosophical and scientific perspective that properties of the mind � from sensory perception to learning to thinking to consciousness � are a direct product of the intrinsic physical properties of the brain."
