Connectionists: SAND 7 Workshop Announcment

[Heidi Rhodes Sestrich]

The seventh international workshop on Statistical Analysis of Neural Data
 (SAND7) will take place May 27-29, 2015, in Pittsburgh, PA.

 Partial travel support is available. Requests for financial support should be made by
 MARCH 15.

 There will be talks by senior investigators and junior investigators. The talks by young
 investigators (graduate student or postdoc/faculty within 5 years of Ph.D.) will be selected
 on a competitive basis. Any young investigator interested in presenting their work as
 a talk should submit an abstract by MARCH 1.  Please see our website:

 http://sand.stat.cmu.edu

 There will also be a poster session, to which all participants are invited to contribute.
 Talks and posters may involve new methodology, investigation of existing methods, or
 application of state-of-the-art analytical techniques.

 Here are the confirmed keynote speakers:


    Gyorgy Buzsaki (NYU)
    Marlene Cohen (University of Pittsburgh)
    Adrienne Fairhall (University of Washington)
    Bruce Rosen (Harvard, MGH)
    Mark Schnitzer (Stanford)
    Sebastian Seung (Princeton)


 This workshop series is concerned with analysis of neural signals from various sources,
 including EEG, fMRI, MEG, 2-Photon, and extracellular recordings. It aims to define
 important problems in neuronal data analysis and useful strategies for attacking them;
 foster communication between experimental neuroscientists and those trained in statisti-
 cal and computational methods encourage young researchers, including graduate students,
 to present their work; and expose young researchers to important challenges and oppor-
 tunities in this interdisciplinary domain, while providing a small meeting atmosphere to
 facilitate the interaction of young researchers with senior colleagues.

 The organizers are Emery Brown, Elizabeth Buffalo, Rob Kass, Liam Paninski, Sri Sarma and
 Jonathan Victor.
