The Bernstein Conference started out as the annual meeting of the
Bernstein Network Computational Neuroscience and has become the largest
annual Computational Neuroscience conference in Europe with more than
500 international participants in recent years. This year the conference 
is organized by the Bernstein Center for Computational Neuroscience 
Berlin at the Humboldt-Universität zu Berlin. The main conference (Sep 
21-23, 2016) will be accompanied by satellite workshops (Sep 20-21, 
2016) and a PhD symposium (Sep 23-24, 2016). An important part of the 
main conference will be the two poster sessions.

We are now inviting the submission of abstracts from all relevant areas.

contributed talks during the main conference. Please note the earlier
submission deadline for authors applying for a talk. All accepted
abstracts will be published online and will be citable via Digital
Object Identifiers (DOI).
