workshop is intended for PhD students and postdocs who want to learn
and share with their peers new advanced techniques in data analysis and
apply them to complex neural datasets. During the workshop, attendees
will present their research projects, followed by a hands-on programming
tutorial on the computational techniques used in their work. The
purpose is to gain a detailed understanding of the complexity of data
and of the appropriateness of the different analysis techniques. The
ideal participants are theoreticians with experience in analyzing
experimental data as well as computationally minded experimentalists.
By mixing a group of scientists with a diverse background but with
overlapping goals of uncovering structure in neural data, the
participants will learn an array of techniques and foster fruitful
collaborations.<br><br>The workshop will include presentations, tutorial
sessions and lots of time and space for unfiltered in-depth discussions
and data hacking sessions. We envision tutorials both on advanced data
analysis as well as on specific experimental techniques and data
processing. Participants are therefore expected to contribute with code
or data to share and a reasonable dose of energy for giving tutorials on
their work. Data and/or code can come in any format, including
artificially generated data, but we encourage to make them available in a
form that everyone can explore them with minimal overhead. <font face="Calibri, Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif" color="#000000">Any data is shared only within the workshop.</font><br><br><b>In
order to foster an interactive atmosphere and allow everyone to give a
detailed description and tutorial of their work, the workshop will be
limited to a small group of participants. Participants will be provided
with funds to cover travel, accommodation, and meals. We encourage
applications from female scientists and those belonging to
underrepresented minorities.</b><br><br>The Junior Scientist Workshop is organized in partnership with the <a href="https://neuronex.org/projects/13" target="_blank">NeuroNex Theory Team at the University of Houston</a> and funded by NSF's <a href="https://www.nsf.gov/news/news_summ.jsp?cntn_id=242652" target="_blank">NeuroNex</a> initiative.</div><div dir="ltr"><br></div><div dir="ltr">The 2019 workshop will be held at Columbia University's <a href="https://www.google.com/maps/place/Jerome+L.+Greene+Science+Center/@40.816851,-73.960152,17z/data=!3m1!4b1!4m5!3m4!1s0x89c2f669953b6523:0xc3a414ae00347fea!8m2!3d40.816847!4d-73.957958" target="_blank">Jerome L Greene Science Center</a>. <br><br>Organizers: Fabio Stefanini, Mario Dipoppa, Rainer Engelken, Krešimir Josić, and Ashok Litwin-Kumar.</div><div dir="ltr"><br></div><div dir="ltr"><div class="gmail_default">Questions?
