Towards a
mechanistic interpretation of neural data
NCCD17 is the third in a series of meetings focusing
on topics in theoretical and experimental neuroscience.
Techniques for recording and manipulating large-scale
neural activity in awake behaving animals are developing
at an accelerating pace. Identifying the principles of
neural processing requires a mechanistic interpretation
of the large amounts of collected data. The aim of this
workshop is to make progress in that direction by
bringing together three different communities: (i)
experimentalists performing large-scale recordings in
behaving animals; (ii) modelers specialized in
statistical data-analysis; (iii) theorists working with
mechanistic network models. We are looking for talks
that build bridges across these different approaches.
As with previous workshops, our goal is to foster the
strong interactions we believe are so important for this
field. So the meeting will be small, and registrations
will be capped at 70. So plan to register early!
About 10 abstracts will be chosen for contributed talks.
We'll let you know which ones shortly after the abstract
deadline; definitely before the early registration
deadline.
