<div id="gmail-wp_11966" class="gmail-widget"><b>Towards a
mechanistic interpretation of neural data</b><br>
<div class="gmail-widget-content">
<div>NCCD17 is the third in a series of meetings focusing on
topics in theoretical and experimental neuroscience.<br>
<br>
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.<br>
<br>
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 (~70 people). <br>
