<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, and
registrations will be capped at 70. So plan to
register early!<br>

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. </div>
