Connectionists: CIRM workshop

[Nicolas Brunel]

SEMESTER ON THEORETICAL, MATHEMATICAL AND COMPUTATIONAL NEUROSCIENCE
CIRM Marseille
October - December 2011
http://www-sop.inria.fr/manifestations/SemesterCirm/

Neuroscience and its applications are greatly developing world-wide and
Europe is one of the important contributors to the advancement of this
discipline. Because of the variety of topics that it has to address, it
is characterized by a very broad inter-disciplinarity and requires the
cooperation of actors in several fields of knowledge.

In this context, the need for developing new theoretical, mathematical,
and computational tools can be clearly identified and must be addressed.
The purpose of this semester is to present some of the relevant modern
mathematical tools through short courses and to explore several facets
of the current research through workshops.
